Is THIS the Version of Jalen Green We’ve All Been Waiting For?

Is THIS the Version of Jalen Green We’ve All Been Waiting For?

Unless you’ve been living under a rock then you know that for the last month Houston Rockets guard Jaylen green has been balling out like basically the best player on the planet dude has legit been earning Kobe Bryant comparisons okay and for green it’s been a month-long transformation from a talented scorer

Searching for consistency into a bone unified offensive Force this is a guy who has strung together some all NBA worthy performances that have vaulted him into legitimate star conversations and it’s also kept the Houston Rockets playoff hopes alive and well in a very very competitive Western Conference I

Think it’s safe to say that the switch has flipped for jayen and he is finally showing why he was the number two overall pick a few seasons ago so I’m talking about all of that in video first though welcome to the half court report

My name is Troy please do me a solid and like this video And subscribe to the channel as well I talk about anything and everything inba on this channel I post several times a week and I would love to have your support and helping me

Grow what I got going on here so I was reading an article from Rahat hook over at forbes.com and I want to talk about that piece and offer some of my own thoughts as well because it has been quite the turnaround like the future scoring champion that

Scouts projected him to be prior to the 2021 NBA draft so if all this holds it is a significant development for the rockets in their rebuild Mark Weeks over at Hoops hype even said more importantly for Houston these are not meaningless games since March began the Rockets have

Won 12 of 13 games including the last 10 in a row and while they are still on the outskirts of the playoff picture they’re 37 and 35 record is good enough for the 11th seed and very very close to a spot in the play in tournament even more wild

This run has come without alron shenon the Rockets third-year Center was looking like an Allstar this year kind of like a mini yic with the way he was playing he was having a breakout campaign before his season ended prematurely on March 12th due to a really really nasty ankle sprain so when

His season ended Houston was also supposed to be down for the count but Jaylen green said hey not so fast because I am playing with unbridled confidence and I am coming up with big plays in the clutch those big plays are often against quality opponents too so

For the past three weeks so for the past month he has been the gamechanging factor for this rocket Squad and it is the biggest story in the NBA because Jaylen green has always been a highly talented scorer who who averaged over 22 points per game last season but there is

A big difference between being just a high volume scorer on a team near the bottom of the standings and being you know the man on the NBA’s hottest team so when it all comes down to it the Rockets are good again and Jaylen green is a huge maybe even the hugest part of

That and in part that’s because the team’s stylistic changes in the absence of shenon have played a big role in this so without their main pit it Houston’s pace of play has increased something better suited for an athlete like Jaylen green who can get downhill more often

Who can fire up threes off the dribble and things like that Green’s handle and his excellent athleticism allow him to beat opponents off the dribble while the reduced need to feed the low post to shenon gives him more opportunity to do just that he has exploded this month so

The next question is whether whether this is sustainable after shenon comes back from his injury and takes away some of those shots and driving Lanes from Jaylen green can the two players coexist because getting green and shenon to maximize their individual talents in such a way that benefits the team is

Going to be a big story heading into next season because it is hard to dispute that Shin goon’s absence has been a huge benefit to Jaylen green as an individual player after the 2024 NBA trade deadline passed it was actually revealed that Houston had offered a package to the Brooklyn Nets of Jaylen

Green and multiple first round picks in exchange for Wing male bridges in a type of win now kind of move that trade of course didn’t happen but with Green’s latest run that proposed deal is looking more and more interesting the Rockets will likely not revisit trade talks in

The offseason regarding green due to his latest play but the promise that he’s shown this month does need to be seen will the Rockets extend him will they seek to secure his Services long term on a team-friendly deal is he going to be a max player I mean those are the types of

Critical questions that this off season is going to have in store but regardless the Rockets are in a terrific spot down the road with whatever decision they make because green and shenon are two huge pieces whether it’s in Houston or where and they are eligible for contract

Extensions as early as the summer as I mentioned before shenon was looking like a future Allstar before that angle injury am in Thompson who the Rockets drafted last year as the fourth overall pick has emerged in the second half of the Season as a rim Runner and defensive

Menace I love his game 20th overall pick cam Whitmore was a steal and he has played well enough to have many believe that he could have made Jaylen green replace able before this latest run and then you have t een the 17th overall pick in the 2022 draft who was leading

The team in net rating before going down for the year with a leg injury and Jabari Smith Jr top three pick a couple years ago he has shown some defensive and shooting chops and even playing Center in the absence of injured alperon shenon so the Rockets they’ll also have

A lottery pick in the 2024 NBA draft via the Brooklyn Nets which can be used for another piece or traded for a win now player so there are lots of options that this team can take but for this year and with 40 wins and the playin in Clear
