In the NBA's rookie list, Cavaliers Detective Mobley ranked No. 1, Raptors No. 4 Coach Barnes ranked No. 2, Pistons' Champion Cunningham ranked No. 3, Magic No. 8 Show Wagner ranked No. 4, Thunder No. 6 Showgird ranked No. 5, and Rockets No. 4 Jaylen Green could only rank No. 8.
Well, the competition for the best rookie of the season is mainly between Mobley, Barnes and Cunningham, and the Rockets' list of Jaylen Green has little chance, but it is still possible to impact the rookie of the season.
Judging from Jaylen Green's overall performance in the season, there is a situation of low and high, and the performance of the long struggle at the beginning of the season has made him widely criticized.
Jaylen Green's performance at the beginning of the season for a long time is indeed very criticizable:
Defensive end: Jaylen Green's strength is not good, often intimidated by the opponent, the choice of defensive position is not good, the defensive awareness is not good, the defensive scale is poor, there is no concept of supplementary defense and auxiliary defense, the change of defense is often wrong, the rotation of defense is not done well, and the single defense is extremely disadvantaged, which is the focus of the opponent.
Offensive end: Jaylen Green's offense is very single, mainly relying on shooting three-pointers on the outside, and the ups and downs of offensive efficiency are very large, will not block and dismantle, shooting timing and shooting choices have a lot of problems.
Because Green's very poor performance and play have become the biggest weakness in the Rockets' starting lineup, Green's plus-minus value was once ranked 1st in the league, and Green's offensive and defensive negative impact on the Rockets is very large.
However, Green's performance has improved significantly recently, as follows:
Defensive end: Jaylen Green is no longer the focus of the opponent, Green's strength confrontation has a certain degree of improvement, Green's defensive position has improved to a certain extent, although there is still a place worth criticizing, Green's defensive awareness has been significantly improved, and the tolerance rate of the change defense has been greatly reduced.
Where Green still needs to improve on the defensive end, there are defensive choices and defensive positions that need to be strengthened, Green's defensive rotation needs to be strengthened, the tacit understanding of changing defenses needs to be improved, and the strength confrontation needs to be improved.
Offensive end: Green's offensive stability has been greatly improved, especially the offensive efficiency has increased significantly, Green's offensive methods are diversified, not only has three-point projection, but also mid-range and ball-holding breakthroughs, of which the speed of the ball-holding breakthrough is undoubtedly prominent, and Green has hit three points many times at key moments, from the senses, Green's progress on the offensive end is very obvious.
What Green also needs to improve on the offensive end is to increase the stability of the attack, reduce the ups and downs of the offensive end, face the opponent's bag, learn to handle the ball and dominate the ball, the distribution and organization of the ball need to be improved, the digestion of the ball needs to be improved, and learn to play with body and strength.
From the current progress of Green, on the one hand, from the accumulation and edification of continuous losses, Green's offensive and defensive awareness is mostly through the experience of the game, knowing their own gap, on the other hand, it is indispensable for Green to practice hard outside the game, plus the team of the rocket coaching team can better point out Green's problems, let Green know how to play better, all of this is the root of Green's rise, from such positive feedback, as long as Green is humble, and Green has a self-motivated heart, Although the probability of winning the rookie of the season this season is not large, Green can continue to improve, which can make the rocket rebuild tomorrow brighter.
