Rockets rookie Jaylen Green, in recent games, has to say that he has almost stolen the limelight of rookie players such as Mobley and Barnes, becoming one of the hottest rookies in the league. Of course, the Pistons' Cunningham performance is also all-Star level, in the game against the 76ers, Cunningham scored 27 points, 6 assists and 2 rebounds, and his counterpart James Harden only had 18 points, 7 assists and 9 rebounds.
But Jaylen Green's performance is clearly more explosive, after all, Cunningham has been very stable this season, and Jaylen Green has finally found the best feeling after a downturn in the middle of the schedule. Although the Rockets' record has not been good enough, Jaylen Green's data can be said to have ushered in a small explosion. Statistics show that in the last 4 games, Jaylen Green has averaged 27.5 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2 assists per game, and his three-point shooting rate is as high as 46%!
In addition, there is a more dazzling statistic: in jaylen Green's more than 20 games in a single game this season (a total of 4 games), Green's average data has reached 26.3 points, 4 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game, and his shooting percentage is 46.5%, his three-point shooting rate is 35.9%, and his true shooting rate is 57.5%. In other words, if You give Jaylen Green more shots, then Jaylen Green's return to the Rockets is quite generous.
In addition to the first-class data, Jaylen Green's shooting percentage and three-point shooting rate in a single game of 20+ shots are "rising" compared to the season average. According to statistics, This season, Green has averaged 41.7% of his shots per game and 33.7% from three-point range, far less than the 20+ games in which he shot 4 games.
It's just that it's not easy for Jaylen Green to get 20+ shots per game this season, and Porter Jr. and Wood, two players who like to attack with the ball, occupy more shots. Even defensive strikers like Tate take the initiative to shoot a lot of shots from time to time, completely ignoring Jaylen Green's tactical position. The above is probably one of the reasons why Jaylen Green did not perform well in the first half.
So why is It that Jaylen Green's performance is suddenly improving now? The reason is that Porter Jr. is beginning to mature more, and he has begun to learn to pass the ball as the first task, and it is rare to shoot at random.
The rotation of Wood and Gordon has allowed Jaylen Green to have more shooting opportunities than before, and in the last two games against the Spurs and Kings, Jaylen Green's shots have reached 20+. Considering that Green has only shot 20+ games this season, it also shows that with Wood in his presence, it is not an easy task for Jaylen Green to shoot 20+.
In other words, if Wood doesn't fight, Jaylen Green can explode, and vice versa. Therefore, who is the player that the Rockets should clean up the most, there is no need to bother here. In short, although the Rockets' Jaylen Green has such shortcomings, he can seize the opportunity to perform, and this season's personal improvement is also common. In the future and even next season' games, Jaylen Green naturally needs more ball possession, higher tactical freedom, and even more shooting opportunities, giving him enough, Jaylen Green can even play an average of more than 25 points per game.
