The Rockets watched the first-class performance of the Cavaliers' main center Evan Mobley, and did not know how to feel in their hearts, after all, the Rockets had a pick-up, and outside of Cunningham, the Rockets could have used this signing to draft Jaylen Green, Mobley, Saggers or one of Barnes in the draft, but the Rockets, in the hopeless pursuit of Cunningham, decisively chose Jaylen Green with their No. 2 pick , the 19-year-old rookie guard who was regarded as "Little Kobe".
But unfortunately, the Rockets' 10 regular season games have ended, but the record is not as expected - the current Rockets 1 win and 9 losses at the end of the West, and even if they continue to play like this, whether the Rockets can get 17 wins last season is still a big problem, to know that last season was a shrinkage season, this season is 82 games full, 10 games have passed The Rockets have won 1 win and 9 losses, if they play 82 games, the Rockets can get 10 wins at most is already the upper limit.
The arrival of rookies like Jaylen Green doesn't seem to have helped the Rockets win more. Last season, the Rockets did not have a good record, but at least at the beginning of the season, under the leadership of Wall and Wood, the Rockets even had a wave of 6 consecutive wins, and the record after the opening was not particularly bad, of course, Harden was still on the one hand, but on the other hand, the Rockets players were really fighting. But this season is different, the Rockets' rookies and veterans always seem to be unable to integrate, Wood and Porter Jr. control a lot of ball rights, And Shin Kyung and Jaylen Green do not have many shots and ball rights.
So after 10 games, will Jaylen Green become a "parallel cargo list"? To know that there are many parallel goods in history, such as the Grizzlies center Tabit and the 03 golden generation of center Milisic are like this, then the Rockets' Green, will not be such a player? In fact, we don't have to worry about it, after all, we have only played 10 games, and Green's performance does not represent his real level.
The US media also listed the average data of Jaylen Green in 10 games, and compared with last season's champion show, Timberwolves point guard Anthony Edwards, the result is not more than not knowing, this comparison we are clear, look at the data alone, Green is not worse than Edwards, and even slightly dominant in some data! This season, Green has averaged 13.6 points, 3.1 rebounds and 3 assists per game, shooting 35.3 percent from the field, 28.6 percent from three-point range, 73.3 percent from the free throws and 46.5 percent from the field.
After playing 10 games last season, Edwards' statistics are as follows: averaging 13.6 points, 2.9 rebounds and 2 assists per game, 38.8%, 27.6%, 36.2% and 47.5% shooting rates, respectively.
It can be said that Edwards, who played 10 games last season, and Green after 10 games this season, look at the data alone is similar, but this season the Rockets' Green is too concerned, and the fans are too demanding of him, which has led to some "senseless disappointment". Just give Green some more time, I believe he will continue to grow stronger.
This season, The Timberwolves' Edwards has grown into a star guard who averages 22.3 points, 6.1 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.4 steals per game, so for the current Green, the only thing the Rockets can do is to wait patiently, continue to give him trust, give Green more ball and offensive opportunities, let him give full play to his talent, I believe that next season Green may also grow into an Edwards-style star guard, he needs time to grow, and it is not advisable to pull out the seedlings.
