    Gotcha, so ignore all of the metrics because it's all someone else's fault that Jalen sucks and just pray he magically becomes a quality player at some point in the future because you found a graph with a wildly optimistic guess suggesting Jalen will magically become a quality player at some point.

    The fact that he has the lowest WS/48 on his own team and needs to be continually benched for lack of effort and embarrassingly poor performances is someone else's fault too.

    To be specific, at the start of the season only 13% of the board thought we would get 41 wins. I bet it was way less than 13% after Sengun went down.

    Cam Thomas is better than him. Wish we had CT.

    Cam Thomas was benched earlier in the season while playing well. That's what Brooklyn thinks of Cam. They didn't/don't see him as part of the plan.

    You want a leader, you've got to make leader. Jalen needs to be sent off to old school Marine boot camp where he's got a drill Sargent who wakes him up at 4:30 and pushes him to his limits for 2 months over the summer. Scare the **** out of him, get rid of the nail polish and the sissy haircut, and make him yell all his answers so he can't speak that incoherent mumble language he's used to. If he survives, give him 1 more chance, if he comes back unchanged, trade him.

    As someone who "survived" Marine boot camp let me just assure you the training Green did in his life to get to the(check notes).... NBA is far more hard core than training we've done.

    Wait, so Jalen's late season breakout wasn't just a 5 game fluke?

    Glad to see Jalen bounced back and wanted to be out there.

    1 more win for a .500 season

    To have such a young team accomplish this is awesome. Look at all the young teams around the league. Not many are doing that.

    I'm glad you admit to it, honesty is the only path forward.

    If course not, it was an 8 or 9 game fluke hot streak.

    A 33% 3 point shooter hitting 47% of his 3's over 8 games is essentially the definition of a fluke hot streak.... it was Jalen's mini Linsanity.

    Take Jalen Green. Now remove all of his God given physical talent.

    That's Cam Thomas.
