So, Dillon Brooks WAS the difference all along. Should we be sending draft capital + the corpse of Durian Finna-Stink to the Suns for The Villian?
Feel sorry for the young man because he seems like a nice kid and he has been taking Ls since he got into the league, but man, I sure am he is no longer a Houston Rocket.
I’ve never been a Jalen fan, but he won’t be this bad for long. He’s just knocking off the rust. He’ll hit his March boom. I predict he’ll play well next season.
Jalen will have his moments again. He might even end up being a really good player. But he is going to be example 1A for me moving forward about how if you're going to be a wildly inconsistent scorer, you damn well better be providing value in other areas. And if you're just a scorer, you better be really consistent. A bad game every now and then? Fine. A bad game more often than the good ones? Get out, and good riddance.
Without Booker and Brooks, the Suns scored 77 points against the Blazers, following it up with a 81-point game against the Celtics. JVG would love this kind of games.
Jalen had so many more bad games than good. He played like a legit star in 20% of his games and total trash in the other 80%. The highs and lows was like Linsanity every season. If Jalen could have gotten his good game to bad game ratio to around 1:1 he might actually still be here.
