The NBA has high-ranking rookies in the water almost every year, which is also a common thing! In this year's draft, The upper limit Jordan lower bound Kobe Bryant's Jaylen Green was selected by the Rockets. However, as the season began, the voices of the fans gradually decreased. First, from the perspective of singles efficiency, Jaylen Green and Porter Jr. are a level, not efficient, and have more mistakes; defensively, Jaylen Green is also a colander level player. Jaylen Green let people see only the talent on the jump, and in the eyes of experts, Jaylen Green could not adapt to the NBA level confrontation.
The annual All-Star Contest came, and Jaylen Green had the highest demand for dunk king, and was eliminated in the first round. After handing over the phone to the Smiling Assassin, the first round of dunks was even 9 dunks and 1, which was a big surprise, and even the NBA celebrities were disappointed. Abdul-Abdul-Jabbar left the court halfway through, O'Neal was black-faced, and this dunk contest was also complained by fans that it was one of the most disappointing dunk contests in NBA history. Fans are calling for Gordon to comeback, two-time dunk king LaVine to come back, and derrick Jones Jr. to come back!
Let's look at the data before the All-Stars, the average data per game is only 14.3 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.3 assists, the shooting rate is only 37%, the three-point shooting rate is less than 30%, and because of injury problems, it once fell out of the top ten. Let's look at the stats after the All-Star, 20+ in 12 games and 8 games. Against the Lakers, he scored a career-high 32 points on 13 of 21 shots, and it is worth mentioning that In the final quarter and overtime, Jaylen Green scored a total of 19 points, becoming the biggest contributor to the team's victory! After the All-Star, Jaylen Green averaged 20+3+4 per game, shooting 48% from the field and shooting more than 37% from three-point range, which can be said to be very outstanding.
It is also because of the excellent performance after the All-Star that Jaylen Green now averages 15.8 points per game, second only to Cunningham. In the latest issue of the rookie list, Jaylen Green ranked in the top five positions, and I think that if this continues, it will not be a big problem to be selected as a rookie at the end of the season! In terms of three-point counts, Jaylen Green also ranked first on the rookie list with 114 three-pointers. Although the efficiency is not high, it has recently been reflected that Jaylen Green has improved the stability of the shooting after following Lucas to change the shooting position!
I think the biggest change came from singles, and in the past, Jaylen Green was timid. Today, Jaylen Green seems to be more confident in singles, able to dribble and make moves calmly in front of opponents. In terms of breakthroughs, the strong rise in the past is now more about using rhythm to make layups. This is also the mature side of Jaylen Green, who, despite his excellent bounce to complete, is now more able to use his body. It is worth mentioning that after the All-Star Game, there are 3 games with 6+ assists, which also shows that Jaylen Green is now playing smarter!
Rockets coach Silas still has no clear positioning of the team so far, since the Rockets current record of 17 wins and 53 losses in the league to the bottom of the league, it should be practiced to clarify the team's way of playing! Although Shin Kyung has played well in these games, the author feels that Shin Kyung and this group of young people play contrary to each other. Shin Kyung plays more like Scola, relying on his feet to play. But the Rockets are a group of young men who can fly and jump, Jaylen Green, Christopher, Martin, Porter Jr., Tate and other players, the author feels that the Rockets still have to correct Garupa as soon as possible, trade Shenjing!
The author feels that it is still necessary to play with Jaylen Green as the core, so that Jaylen Green has sufficient shooting power to cultivate him into the boss of the team! Indeed, in terms of talent, Porter Jr. and Wood can't compare to Jaylen Green! After all, the upper limit Jordan lower limit Kobe Bryant, which is the evaluation of many experts before the season. The height is also 1 meter 98, the athletic ability is also excellent, and the shooting is also very reliable. Some people say that he is easy to water, but his ceiling is also very high, and he has the potential to become a superstar! At this point, Cunningham can't compare with Jaylen Green! I think this genius has now awakened his talent, just wait for Silas to make a prayer platform for Jaylen Green!
