Jalen has been playing extremely well - Ime has unlocked the code. I will happily eat crow in counting him out.
I agree. Jalen is a terrible 3 PT shooter, shooting 38% from open looks is honestly terrible, I'm sure Whitmore and FVV are shooting above 40% on open looks. Rather than being defensive or shying away from this problem, Jalen should confront and fix this by going on a shooting camp and revamping his shot. Trying to make up for terrible shooting by going to the line more or increasing the pace etc those are just band aids that won't work in the playoffs. He should take steps to fix his shot cuz that's the one thing keeping him from stardom.
I love how he never gets credit for how he began the season, which was very good. Somehow, December dictates his first half of the season or something like 60 games, but the ending the season, or the last 20 games literally means nothing. This season has been incredibly up and down, but its had some ups besides just now.
Gotcha and I know what you mean I just don't buy into certain players who I think ultimately were going to be losers no matter where they went because they didn't want to adapt their games (T-Mac, Dwight, Nash). I do think that there is a player on this team who's being marginalized (Jabari) and a different coaching staff would be spamming his jumpers more than Ime/FVV do. I guess my ultimate assessment is that Sengun is the one constant on this team and everyone else needs to adapt to him at this point. Especially Jalen who hasn't shown a semblance of consistency his whole career.
If we went to your school a #31 ranked TS% shooting guard like Jalen would be worth bragging about. LOL
LOL. What's consistent to you? The last 15 games of a whole season? Give me a break. If he shoots over 45% FG and over 37% from behind the arc the rest of the season I would be shocked. We will see, but even if he does I'd call it one great streak of an entire year, and something the best "star" guards do consistently.
I'm no GM. I just know there are bigger fish in the sea if you commit to a contract for your "star" player.
The funny thing is so obvious that he would be stinking it up after a max contract, this is so written on the wall......or at least that is freaking turrible.
Dude the first two shots in your reel are 26 foot stepbacks. Like I said he makes 38% in open shots and he has good volume there. Notoriously takes stepbacks and long range 3’s and he makes like 25% of these. The only issue is that he thinks he’s James Harden but actually he can barely make anything but simple up and down 3pters near the line. He needs to limit himself, he is not good enough to be taking 7+ attempts to be honest.
True, even against some of the best teams in the league like the spurs and wizards. He carved up the superior Wizards defense.
I agree. Sell while his stock is on the rise. I don't think he will ever be a good enough shooter to compliment Sengun and Amen anyways. We will need more consistent shooters than what Green will ever provide.
not quite enough -- he should've scored 45 or 50---to get a career high at least against the best team spurs-like you've said
I doubt Draya a former stripper is such a good influence on a young man......jus saying....he should be surrounding himself with smart dudes managing his money.....and future finances. That said Draya turned enterpreneur has done something for herself, respect at least.
Just because she was a stripper doesn't mean she is a bad influence or terrible with money. Being caught up in his money and personal life is how you know your a hater.
There are way better influences.......watching one minute of Basketball Wives tells me a lot that she is pretty self absorbed 40 year old..... Also pretty narcissistic interacting with other individuals.... I would have said the same thing if she were not dating any Rockets players..... Hell, even Khloe cared about Lamar Odom and Harden, she just cared about Odom more. But in the end I get it, not everyone can marry a Vanessa Bryant.
