Speaking of Jaylen Green, the first thing that may come to mind for many people is the "most watery" high-ranking rookie of this year. After all, the Rockets picked up a key shooting guard from the Development League Ignition team, Jaylen Green, with a valuable first-round No. 2 pick last summer. But more than half a season has passed, how is Jaylen Green doing? Averaging 14.3 points, 2.3 assists and 3.4 rebounds per game, coupled with the Rockets' record at the bottom of the Western Conference, Jaylen Green is not optimistic.
But is Jaylen Green really not making any progress? In fact, this is not the case at all. While Jaylen Green's performance so far this season has been unconfirmable compared to his draft pick pick, Green has also been working hard and seeking a transformation. This transformation is partly in the game and on the other hand in character. We know that Jaylen Green had just been picked off by the Rockets with a list of picks, but he said a lot of "big words".
If I remember correctly, Jaylen Green set three goals: to win the Rookie Award this season and become an All-Star in the coming years, and then he also wanted to be the best defensive player. But now, this season's Best Rookie Award, 80% will belong to Mobley, Barnes or Cunningham 3 of the three, Jaylen Green in the latest rookie rankings, has fallen out of the top ten, considering that there are more than 30 games, unless Jaylen Green plays a superstar performance, it is possible to become the best rookie.
As for the future All-Star and best defensive team, it's really a lot to think about. However, green is obviously much more low-key than Green, who has just entered the league. Green didn't say much when he learned he had been named to the All-Star Rookie Challenge. Instead, he said that it was great and had always been his dream, and he was excited to be able to enter the league and achieve what he wanted to happen. In fact, this has been said very "decently", which is what a normal rookie player should say.
Even after the Rockets beat the Cavaliers at home and Green cut the 21+5+5 stats, he was not particularly excited in the interview, and when talking about his feelings against Mobley, he said, "We (this rookie) want to prove that we are the best." Compared with the hairy boy who dared to say anything when he first joined the Rockets, Jaylen Green has now become low-key and obedient after a series of "blows". It can be seen that Jaylen Green wants to start from 0, although the "3 awards" mentioned above are no longer mentioned, but Green's idea of trying to become stronger has not changed at all.
Low-key and secretly working hard, this is Jaylen Green's first gratifying change, the second gratifying change is still in the game, in recent games Green's shooting rate is not high, but in addition to long-range shooting, he is also trying to use pass assists and breakthrough attacks to help the team, which is also the reason why the Rockets can beat the Cavaliers, without Green's breakthrough, assists, the Rockets can not beat the powerful Cavaliers. Knowing your weaknesses and trying to make up for them in other ways is Also Green's second comforting change.
