Hinton is more of a reliable defensive presence. He seems bigger than Jalen, even though Green has more athleticism. As we all know, Jalen looks very slow on D and is always muscled out of position. And as other have said, Hinton looks like he wants to be out there. On offense, Nate has some game, though it's limited. Since Jalen's jump shot has left him, there's little difference between these two. An NBA talent evaluator would look at Jalen's game and comment on how much of the G-League can score and defend as much as he can. Green adds little value to the roster. I do wonder if Jalen is playing through pain/injuries. It might explain why he's so erratic. But everyone who's an everyday NBA player/starter has to learn how to overcome this barrier.
Yes he is better than Green. Of course there are not a whole lot of NBA guards who do not fit that description these days.
You can see the classic error here, not recognizing the difference between - Nate Hinton was better than Green this week - Nate Hinton has a higher FG% - Nate Hinton is better than Green > this is what was alleged I remember initially seeing this thread and just laughing at the level of trolling. Thank you @BelgianRocketsFan this was an elite thread bump.
Love seeing all the "experts" with egg on their faces. Imagine trying to run a narrative that a scrub is better than Jalen, only to have Jalen make your favourite player look like a scrub in comparison by the end of the year? (and yes, that goes for every single player on the team you can prefer over Jalen.)
Well now he has an open system and the ball - and the answer is no ! Things change fast in the NBA. DD
And was right at the time. I know people say Alpi being out doesn't make a difference, but it does, this wide open system they are playing now, with solid switching D, is different.....Amen has made a huge impact on winning. DD
