    We need to trade him now not later, he just does not fit in a team style offense only in a HERO BALL type offense….he was awesome the last two years playing HERO BALL with KPJ

    That's the thing, he showed flashes but was generally not great. Team record showed it too.

    Yeah, a cool looking fancy shot once in awhile isn't enough to make up for being a low efficiency shooter on average. Nobody wants to see Hero Ball with a guy who has to take 50% more shots than everyone else to hit double or triple digits or to get the most points.

    He played better than what he usually play, maybe Cam actually playing made him urgent enough for him to try harder?

    I don't know if that's right. 6th man should be Jalen 's role.

    Yeah but only in the first half and 3rd quarter.....he does not score that much thereafter.

    @Mathloom ’s homerific takes coming back to haunt him. Hope he becomes less homerish with his posts but it probably won’t happen.

    It will certainly not happen. How come my takes about Sengun and Jabari are not homerish? Lol oh I see because they came true in the midst of the board saying we have a guy who can't make open shots and a guy whose foot speed was fatal for his ceiling as a player. Got it.

    I don't panic when things go downhill. I don't over celebrate good games. I said he will be inconsistent as hell for 30 games. Has someone been more right than me about how the first 30 games would go for him?

    This was you in the Chapter 6 BS thread at the start of the season. You couldn't have missed the mark more than that. Jalen is close to getting sent to China than be a "scoring star" this season.

    I'm not sure what you're mad about? My prediction was that he'd struggle for around 30 games before having a good season. Said it consistently. What was yours before the season? Shall we dig it up?

    You're literally angry at a situation that one of the strictest coaches in the NBA is patient with. Things are going pretty much the way I expected at least although I thought they would improve his offense before his defense. We don't really disagree that he's had a poor start to the season. Not sure there's much else to say.

    Crazy enough, even Jalen Suggs has a 60%+ TS% this season. Jalen Green may end up the sole awful player in the top 8 of his draft class.

    Jalen Johnson is making a leap this year, too.
    The worst Jalen in the 2021 draft currently is Green
