    Sharpe, Green. Turns out being 'generational athlete' means jack **** if you don't have bbiq. Who would have thought?

    Max Strus does bring a lot of things that has nothing to do with shooting.... :D

    Strus is a very basic nba player and he still has higher TS% then Jalen Green. I'd say he has higher bbiq.

    He survived with his instinct, skills, and IQ......and makes 15 million as a undrafted player.....meanwhile Green is the opposite.

    "Everyone played bad, not just Jalen"

    Yeah exactly. Jalen has been constantly carried by his teammates when hes had **** games. His teammates cant afford to have off nights. Theyve got to always be on point because they have to make up for the shooting guard that cant shoot. So when they have bad nights there is no hope of winning because we definitely cant rely on the #2 pick, mr im a bucket, to pick up the slack.

    I thought we were all Rockets fans here, but why are Jalen stans so obsessed about Jalen? What is it that they really like about him?
    his activities outside of playing basketball?

    I really want to know what makes him so special.

    It's understandable because Jalen was meant to be the pillar of our rebuild. We suffered so much in that 2020-2021 season and he was suppose to be the saviour for the franchise so people seem more emotionally invested in him that normal.

    It is not why people fell in love, we all have been there, but you keep going back when you got humiliated and got smacked in the face....keep going back to him.

    Oh shi… 2 players at the very bottom. Bruh what are we doing over analyzing? No one can tell me these guys are not getting good shots because they do. OMG.

    They bought into the flash and they hype and convinced themselves that Jalen Green was the next coming of Kobe Bryant, all they had to do is hope hard enough and they thought it would happen.

    Now they are so invested in that delusion that they are having trouble moving on now that it's obvious he's not the guy they were sold.

    It doesn't help that the team mirrors their delusion at the moment. They desperately don't want to admit they made a mistake, so that fuels the delusions of Jalen fans.

    It shouldn't be too surprising, this was the talk all offseason.

    Last year Jalen was 113th in the NBA in FG% or 11th worst among qualified players

    Jabari was 117th which was 7th worst

    Dillon Brooks was 119th or 5th worst

    FVV was 121 or 3rd worst


    This season Jalen and FVV are still bottom 5 in the league in FG% but at least Brooks and Jabari are all significantly better, ranked in the 60's.

    The worst starting guard tandem in the NBA.
