Why The Rockets BENCHED Jalen Green 😧

Why The Rockets BENCHED Jalen Green 😧

When Jamon green was drafted by the rockets in the 2021 draft he basically had the keys to this team and was able to operate in that offense however he wished during his rookie season he put up 17 points a game on 42% from the field which isn’t that great of

Efficiency and that’s going to be a large topic of our conversation today Green’s sophomore season he improved to 22 points a game but his efficiency dropped to 41% from the field note The League average is 47% and most elite players in the league shoot really 50% these days or around there definitely if

You consider yourself an efficient Elite scorer you’re above that 47% Mark and your true shooting is really like in the 60s so Javin green is one of those volume scorers which I think that term should be looked down upon these days because it’s quite simply saying that

This person isn’t an efficient scorer so in Jaylen Green’s third season here his points per game is down from 22 to 16 his minutes are down from 34 to 30 his shots are down from 18 a game to 14 a game and his fuel goal percentage has gift below

40% most notedly in his last two games he’s been benched in the fourth quarter he played 22 minutes and then 20 minutes he scored nine points and then five points and after this happened jaen dream took to social media to post this and this is what I may you do you had to

Say after being asked about why the second overall quick is not really in the rotation as much of late they play hard like the group that was in I mean that’s what it starts with effort and no not saying that they didn’t play play hard but um obviously they were

Struggling tonight not letting a tough offensive night affect your whole game and that’s anybody across the board so not just him I think now it would be silly for jayen Green’s own coach to really say anything negative about him while he’s struggling but the truth here

Is that the Rockets have a serious case for not really needing his Services going forward because here’s the thing he is not an efficient scorer and the rockets are getting increasingly impressive contributions from alperin senon Fred Van Fleet who they just paid amen Thompson who seems to be way better

Off the dribble and the same case with Jabari Smith who’s shooting the ball much better and playing off the dribble much better it seems like there’s not as many shots to go around and these other players are scoring at a much more efficient clip let me explain if you simply go to NBA

And sort the entire league points per game and you go down to Jaylen green who’s hovering just under 17 at 39% from the field there is nobody who scores more than him that’s shooting that bad from the field what that basically means is like why are we giving this guy that

Many shots that’s a fair question to ask when you’re the only player in that range that’s sell 40% from the field so the truth here this isn’t supposed to be a video to just bash Jaylen green but the truth is the Rockets have so many pieces that jayen green getting 20 22

Minutes a night might have to be the norm from now on but Javin Green’s inefficiency is not the only part of the equation here let’s get a little bit more into the improvements across the board from the Rockets So so let’s start with Alper and sangun who’s putting up

To 20 a game this year on 53% from the field but most importantly he’s shooting 15 shots aim whereas last year he only shot 10 he quite simply looks like the Cornerstone of his team and this is the last season that he won’t be an allar

For a while he continues to get more aggressive as of late and has put up a couple of 30-point games where he’s really doing whatever he wants so then moving on to Gillan Brooks who obviously everyone knows this summer got a terrible reputation the way he left the Grizzlies but he’s turning

Everything around this season he’s shooting 38% from Deep 46% from the field putting up 13 points he’s your dream three and V guy to complement their offense and then let’s talk about Fred Van Fleet who simply they’re paying a lot of money he’s not as efficient as

Some of these other guys but he’s amazing in the pick and roll he could run your offense he’s a very solid point guard and with the money they’re paying him why would they not go to him I’m not going to make a case that he’s one of

The best guards in the league but he’s going to take up shots from Javin gream that wasn’t there in years past so he’s basically running a lot of the offense probably the highest usage guide on the team things are going to Trend more towards sangon probably but none of this

Helped Jamon Green’s case who’s been playing inefficient now let’s talk about jabori Smith Jr who as of rate has shown Improvement off the dribble which again this is only going to be a player who needs more shots in his last five games he shot double Vig pupils which wasn’t

Really the case Cas before that he’s also shooting nearly 40% from three this season after shooting 30% last year he’s defending at a high level and his mid-range looks Unstoppable so if you’re a coach and you want to win now this is another player on your roster who you

Probably want to give more looks to and to top off the list of players taking up shots from Jaylen green is Aaron holiday who shot 50% from deep in the month of December is shooting 43% from Deep on the season so that’s another player who they’re just going to

Want to give the ball so all of this for Jam green is just really not a good sign if he’s still in the point of his career where he wants to be that guy be a leader on the team B Be is going to put up 23 to 25 points a game it’s

Definitely a conversation now in Houston should we be giving him the ball is that really a priority for us because when a player gets drafted into a situation and this is why situation it’s everything when a player gets drafted through a losing team there’s no pressure to win

So they could really afford to shoot a low clip from the field but when your team is capable of winning now which the Houston Rockets are that’s when things get different when other players on your team start playing better start scoring more that’s only going to make people

Ask why shouldn’t they be shooting more so so for Jamon green that’s kind of what’s Happening he definitely has a lot of talent he would be great Off the Bench for anybody he could probably be great as a starter still somewhere else I don’t know but the point is for what

Houston is doing right now it doesn’t look like it’s going to work he’s doing 30 minutes a game on the season so this drop off has been as of late which is why it’s really interesting so we’ll see how things shake out in Houston Jaylen

Green came into the league as one of the most hyped players he deci side with ad beus before he played an NBA game he was a top two pick he played that season for the ignite his game is honestly really fun to watch he’s a high flyer he has a

Great handle he’s a fun player to watch but this team is trying to win now so I’m not sure he fits that framework for them Houston currently stands in the eight seed but the West is pretty tight they’re four games away from Oklahoma City at the three seed they’re five

Games away from Denver they’re 6 and 1 half games away from the Timberwolves basically this team is not a joke anymore so they’re trying to win basketball games now let me know what you guys think in the comments if there’s any Rockets fans out there that

Want to see Jay green play more or play Wess or be traded or come off the bench and evental maybe you should be like d’angela Russell did who knows but thank you guys for watching I’ll see you on the next one

The Rockets have too many young studs to be giving the ball to a sub 40% “scorer”.

I love watching the NBA then making videos about it.
