We Should’ve Known This About Jalen Green



We Should’ve Known This About Jalen Green

Ever since the allar break Jaylen green has switched gears taking his level of play up a notch and if you’ve been following his NBA Journey you know that he has the skill set to be a Bonafide star he just needs to put everything together with his highflying nature you

Have to be ready for these soaring GS he can throw down since he has that jittery quick play style a lot of his moves will catch the defense off guard so now he can go score with ease and with confidence out of this world whenever jayen sees fit he’ll Walk The Defender

Down and pull up right in their face over the last 10 games Jaylen has averaged 26 points six rebounds and three assists while shooting 48% from the field and 37% from Deep during this 10 game period the Rockets are 9 and one and Jaylen green has been leading this

Team on this hot streak with his go- go mindset all season long and even previous Seasons green has had this Relentless approach to the game where he constantly is taking it at the Defense Shooting from everywhere and moving at high speeds all of this makes for a long

Defensive KNE for anyone guarding him and now with green actually put in the pieces together it’s getting scary in that open floor green can show you a little bit of everything with that handle master class and just when you think he’s slowing down he’s actually gunning right back to the room and hangs

In the air to roll this off the glass on the other side with him always in go mode when the court opens up he’ll use Devon Booker’s momentum against himself by going back to the right as this will make Devon have to open up his hips all

The way while jayen can continue to push so now with him getting low and cradling the ball it allows him to get a round Booker and protect the ball and then he sneaks it in before KD can get to it now just because he’s a high Lev threat with

The ball doesn’t mean he can’t maneuver without it because when it seems like the handoff will be initiated green slices back door which leaves Caruso in the dust and throws down this SYM fatic slam since he is a threat to come off these handoffs and punish you Defenders

Won’t be expecting that abrupt cut to the rim and now they’re left just watching can flush it home but hey the defense will surely catch on to this but this is where green doesn’t mind getting physical and will lunge off the defender to then get right into the Money Ball I

Know a lot of people have talked negatively about green and some even called him a bust in my humble opinion I think that’s taking it too far when you look at Jaylen green he has a very unique skill set that gives him the tools to be one of the best young shot

Creators in the league when you see the versatility and fluidity within the shots he takes around the floor it shows you just how well of a feel he has for the game a major trait that lies just beneath all of that though is his fearlessness it not only takes a high

Level of confidence to pull off some of these high difficulty shots from either the mid-range or if it extends out Beyond The Ark but when you see him carve out a lane for himself to then go finish at the room you really get to see how Jaylen shows no fear when he’s on

The floor now a lot of people probably want to harp on his efficiency and bad shot selection and all that good stuff but if he continues to put it together then we are in for something special now when you start to dive in the greens game there’s some key things that make

Him a tough cover and out of these I want you to tell me your favorite first we have a his handle with the ball which allows him to create space second is his Relentless attacking nature and third is his confidence to let shots fly from anywhere on the floor without being

Discouraged even if he might be struggling of course there’s other skill sets that help green succeed and we will definitely touch on those as we look closely at the details within his game at any time he wants jayen can shift gears to push downhill quickly but then immediately downshift to free up that

Space for the three over the defense since he plays with a Ultra green light when he’s coming off these handoffs all he takes is one look at The Rim to get some bonus on that trampoline and with that acceleration Jaylen can be at The

Rim in no time L and get home with him playing with so much speed and force he also has to have some finesse to his game to operate effectively so with him being more aware of the schemes he’s going to run into Jaylen stops on the dime which sends nerkish flying goes

Behind the back to avoid the STP from KD and then use that escape dribble to evade the situation completely to knock down the mid-range jumper plus the foul it’s honestly pick your poison when it comes to jayen scoring the ball inside outside or in between are all areas he’s comfortable in he’s starting

To be so confident in his outside shooting that he’s turning around before the shot even goes in as a Defender it’s not smart to just sit back when he gives you that chance to step up or else it’s three more points on the board I know it’s 32% shooting from Deep on the

Season doesn’t make you care about his shot from outside as much but green is one of those players that gets going when he sees the shots start to fall so if he gets hot then it’s truly lights out you have to be careful to not go under these screens twice because it

Doesn’t take much for green to get into a shot right over you I know defens want to stop the drive so that’s why they go under but hey he’s not afraid to let it fly if so you’ll see Defender start to chase over the top of the screen and

Take away his shooting when he’s hot but now with yic having to switch on the green when kcp gets caught up all it takes is that step back to create all this space and his easy money now it’s not just his ability to get open for looks that’s amazing but it’s also that

He can make tough buckets as well if you’re not careful then that’s stop on a dime snatchback will leave you lost and now it’s a bucket in your face that handle of his is so key because once he get you going one way off the cross he can shift back directions once again

Catching you off guard so now as you recover green throws in that step back to All Out cook you throw them in the stove or put them on the grill when it’s time to salsa let me have this dance please where so new with that same creativity he has

From Deep he can use it in that mid-range area as when he’s cut off on the drive jayen can use this unorthodox spin back to Shake The Defenders completely and sink the fade from 15 ft with him only nailing 38% of his mid-range shots it raises concerns just

Like his three-point percentage but like I stated if the way he has been playing is here to stay then with all this creativity and confidence it’ll be hard to slow him down you can try to cut him off one way when he wants to attack the rim with aggression but when he notices

Wood sliding over feels Reeves on his side well this spin away opens him up just enough for the jumper with his driving being such a threat every single move toward towards the rim will make the defense buy hard so now with them out of position that step back is the

Finisher in this combo it can truly be simple when he’s creating shots for himself since they are so worried and now the easiest moves such as the in and out will make Wy lunch back giving Jaylen the easy cash with the defense now wanting to get

Him off that line this one he can slash down here with a major advantage by attacking the close out and then avoid the rosing at The Rim to place this in when watching Jaylen push to the rack he displays this elegant yet forceful play style that makes him a major threat as

The defense can’t keep him out the paint in the last 10 games Jaylen has drove the ball nine times a game while taking nearly six shots off of these for a conversion rate of 60% say what you want about it only being over a 10 game stretch but anytime you’re on a hot

Streak like this it shows off just how much potential a player has if they can find their groove is this me saying Jaylen will be the best slashing guard in the NBA or anything like that not necessarily but when you see him quickly explode out the in and out cross to get

Into the paint and then hang in the air to absorb the contact and convert the bucket it shows you just how special his game is with his quick first step and exceptional athleticism Gren can attack the rim with authority and finish with a variety of acrobatic moves that explosiveness and impressive leaping

Ability makes him a nightm for Defender to contain and I mean you tell me would you want to step in front of Jaylen when he has his sight set on that rim and it’s coming at you head on because jiren Jackson Jr had it in mind to go contest

After Jaylen broke away from his Defender and it really wasn’t the best business decision the handles are one thing as they’ll shake you right out your boots but then you have to worry about this highflying finishing to end it off you’ll have Defenders sitting there ready for him after he gets away

From his man but this one he’ll fly into you with no care and S the bucket with no problem to have this body control when attacking is great because with him slashing a lot Defenders will meet him in the air head on but Jaylen is able to focus through all the contact and

Convert the bucket this is a testament to that fearlessness we talked about earlier because how many guards do you see attack the rim this aggressively ready to take on the contact and still get their two points it can be all out grueling to constantly battle with bigger bodies inside but when you can

Get ahead of steam with these handoffs downhill though momentum will just carry him right through the defense he’s so quick that when he turns the corner it’s like a speed boost for him and the defense really isn’t going to stop him at this point he’ll make Defenders think

He’s going to slow it down but with that burst of speed he’ll be right at The Rim before they even know it when you pair that speed with the elusiveness that’s when you get these clean Euros around the defense and then when you PR that physicality with the fearlessness this

Is when he can spend a way knocking the defender off him and then detonate on Murray M if you enjoyed this video be sure to drop a like And subscribe before heading out I thank you all for your support and I’ll see you in the next video

  1. Nba player of the week and the yougest player on nba history to record a 40 pts 10 rebound and 7 3 pt made and now made 500 3s in his young career

  2. And you guys wanted to trade him during the trade deadline. C'mon Rockets. Can you imagine if Nets took the trade and took Green for Bridges?

  3. This is the upside I was talking about during the Draft but Pistons won't listen to me. I was saying Green was thin, while Cade was already built. Upside clearly on body is Jalen Green. Next is assists. Cade already passing, Green not. Upside is on Green. I could go on but no, they still pick Cade. Cade is good but you draft not just based on what the players have already (athleticism, speed) but also on the upsides. It's called ceiling and it's clear Jalen Green has the highest ceiling of any player in that draft.
