Jaylen Green of the Rockets has missed the rookie award of the season, and Cunningham, Barnes and Mobley are the final nominees given by the NBA. I can only say sorry to Jaylen Green, but to be honest, such a result can also be accepted by most fans, Green's performance is really too up and down, the first half of the season performance can generally even be described as bad, until the start of the second half, Green's performance has become better.
Although the Rockets' Jaylen Green scored 30+ points in 6 of the last 7 games, it was too late. Again, the Rockets' record is not convincing, and to put it mildly, Jaylen Green is more of a data brush, although most fans don't want to admit it.
Without the best rookie, the Rockets have another award to compete for, that is, the best rookie lineup. NBA Notebook Dubos posted that the US media "Hoopshype" gave the early votes for the best rookie lineup, showing that Mobley, Barnes and Cunningham Wereting entered the first round, and their vote rate was as high as 100%! Magic forward Wagner Jr. has also basically determined that he will successfully enter the rookie lineup.
The Rockets' Green competed with Pelicans guard Herbert Jones for the final rookie spot. Jaylen Green is clearly superior to stats and fame, but Jones' strength is that his Pelicans managed to make it through the qualifiers to the playoffs, a plus the Rockets' Green didn't have. Although the final selection results were not announced, Jaylen Green's vote was 73.91%, and he had a considerable advantage in the "dead end" with Jones.
Incidentally, the selection of the second team is almost eyebrow-raising, Jones fell to the second team, and the second rookie lineup is also the Thunder's all-around guard Gidy, the Nuggets' shooter Hyland, the Pacers guard Duarte and the Bulls guard Dosoum.
Although Herbert Jones' Pelicans have a record of beating the Houston Rockets, Jaylen Green has a first-class stat of averaging 17.3 points per game and has also shot 30+ in the regular season eight times, ranking first among rookies. And there was also a high score of 41 points, which was the only player among the rookie players to cut a 40+. Looking at Jones's personal data, 78 games, averaging 9.5 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.7 blocks in 29.9 minutes per game, compared to Green's data, there is still a big gap.
The team's record is on the one hand, the rookie is more often to consider the rookie's "personal performance", obviously in terms of personal performance, Green is also better than Jones - although the Rockets' record is at the bottom, but in terms of personal performance comparison, the list of Green is obviously more worthy of a burst of honor. It can only be said that Jaylen Green's all-Star level play in the last 10 games at the end of the season has become Green's biggest plus point.
