Several of the strongest teams that have become favorites for the league's title this season have, without exception, re-emerged after years of dormancy. For example, the 76ers, the 76ers have been losing and losing many years ago, and the Suns, when Booker led the Suns, were also one of the weakest teams in the West, but both teams have now completed their transformation and become one of the strongest contenders for this season's championship.
This is the ultimate means for most teams to change from weak to strong, and the Houston Rockets are no exception. After losing Harden, Westbrook and other stars last season, the Rockets have finally sobered up a little, not only through Harden's trade in exchange for a bunch of draft picks, but also to clean up some of the rockets' veterans who occupy salary space. This season, 4 rookie players and some young newcomers were brought in to serve the rebuild.
Now that the Rockets are one of the youngest teams in the league by average age (ranked No. 3), Jaylen Green is undoubtedly the Rockets' biggest hope. After the end of the regular season, the US media ESPN also deliberately arranged a list of under-25 players, with Doncic of the Lone Rangers, Tatum of Boston and Morant of the Grizzlies in the top 3, and 4 players in this rookie also on the list.
Pistons guard Cunningham is no. 6, Raptors all-around forward Scotty Barnes is no. 13, and center Mobley, who is representing the Cavaliers in playoff qualifiers, is in 15th place. Notably, rocket guard Jaylen Green is ranked 21st on the list, followed by Kings core point guard Fox, and John Collins, Maxi and Jaren Jackson Jr.
In addition to being 21st on this list, only these 4 players are on the list in this rookie, and unfortunately Jaylen Green lost to the other 3 rookies Cunningham, Barnes and Mobley. But it has to be said that Jaylen Green got up too late this season, and it wasn't until Rockets coach Silas took a rotation of core players such as Gordon and Wood that Jaylen Green received cornerstone treatment from the team.
Looking at Cunningham, Mobley and Barnes, with strong immediate combat strength and the "care" of the team, these 3 rookie players have a much better season overall performance than Jaylen Green. But then again, being able to appear on this list with active superstars such as Doncic and Morant is also fully proof that Jaylen Green's strength is still good.
This is just Jaylen Green's first season, give him enough time and the ball, and believe that Jaylen Green's ceiling will not be too low. As for the strength of Jaylen Green compared to the other 3 new stars this year, he is not inferior, but he needs a relatively long growth time.
