[ClutchFans] Ime Udoka on why Jalen Green did not play in the fourth quarter: “The group that was in was playing better.” He said he liked the spark that unit, with Aaron Holiday in, was giving the team.

Holiday is literally all of the bench. Green can be a 10th man 15 min a night. Tate should not be playing over 20 min.
Straight talk. I love it coach.
Stings, but it’s true.
2nd pick got outplayed by a Holiday bro (13 pts on 5 shots vs 16 pts on 15 shots for Jalen).
Aaron also had more rbds & was a +8 (best this game) vs a -13 for Jalen (which was…you guessed it…worst this game).
Gotta earn the right to close
Jalen only knows how to tank
Lmfao yep – ime Is saying what the non delusional of us have been saying
Jalen is a net negative – replacement level players contribute to winning more than Jalen
The beginning of the end of the Jalen era in Houston started today. How he repsonds to “Ime’s” challenge on and off the court to be better wiil determine how the rest of his time with the franchise will be. Ime will start giving him twelve minutes if it leads to wins
Unfortunately it’s obvious, Jalen is too mentally/emotionally fragile to be a star in this league. Not to mention, he has a small frame, small hands, and a short wingspan.
Dudes gotta get better.
Jalen was a number 2 pick, he should be better than this going into his 3rd year.
Even Bari is beginning to find his way.
bro Green should have literally listened to Wall. As much as we denied it, its so harshly true that the way Jalen’s playing and his bbiq will not get him far in the league.
Ready for Amen to get back.
jalen needs to start from the bench
Jalen’s played empty calorie basketball his whole career. That’s not what we do here.
Ime’s at least gotten somewhere in the NBA.
Is it time for me to jump on the Jalen Green hate train?
Its clear from his interviews pre draft that he wasnt the… smartest player. His BBIQ needs to get better or else hell be doomed to becoming a 6 man scorer playing against 2nd tier talent.
How much you wanna bet hes gonna make a Snapchat post with a black background and white text saying something like “Haters suddenly showing up” or “Imma prove everyone wrong”
A few more games like this and I’m sure Udoka will move him to the bench. I don’t know man, I like Jalen, but with so many young players and not so many rotational minutes for them he should definitely change something.
