Donte DiVincenzo made 3rd most 3's in the league last season. 1 less than Luka at 283 and on a 40.1% clip.
Idk I’m bustin to both
Boomers
Thanks Frank
Jalen may have a much better year because he wants max contract and has to work real hard for it.
That's exactly why I don't respect Jalen. He only puts effort when he's about to lose his privileged position. I don't respect this kind of players.
We need players who feel personally insulted when losing a game.
Sengun is a hard worker. He earned his position by utilizing his amazing talent with impeccable work ethics.
Hi Frank. I disagree with you on one detail. I observed that Sengun performs the best when he's about near exhaustion. I think the lack of Oxygen slows down his thinking mind and puts him into the zone.
The pressure on Jalen was immense from the moment he was drafted. Some fans expected him to immediately step into a leadership role and become their new "James Harden." However, he lacked veteran guidance and a seasoned coach to mentor him. For two years, he relied on his high school skills and instincts to navigate the NBA. Despite this, he managed to average around 20 points per game, a testament to his raw talent. Last season was what I consider Jalen's real rookie year under Ime and vets like Fred. That's why I remain optimistic about his future. The same can be said for my boy Alpi. I believe they'll both make significant strides this season. 🙏
Jalen doesn't have enout iq to pair up wirt Sengun. So far, Tari is the best one to read Sengun's game and position himself. I believe Reed and Sengul will be a great duo.
Great information it seems that patience is the key for both of them.
I think my biggest takeaway from you today is your question about JG being able to be mature enough to accept being the secondary or tertiary player just in case Alpi becomes that super Nova player that we think he can be? That is the biggest if I think!
1. He struggled a lot till March, after March he struggled again. So more than half of the season.
2. Idk what clicked for you late January but February was actually the worst month for Rockets. 12 game 3W-9L.
Jalen 12 game %36 fg, %23 3pt. 15.8 point 4.8 reb, 3.7 assist. I mean he had double digit rebounds late January for 3 game in a row yes but after that numbers went back to 2,3,4.
3. Alp didnt come as the starter. Luckily for Alp (Sorry Bruno) Bruno got injured then Alp got the spot.
Lastly i agree with the condition stuff for Alp. For Jalen yeah he gotta be more consistent but i wanna see better offball Jalen, cuz onball Jalen is not a teamplayer. He is not a playmaker, he cant create for others, he is not a good passer. Just be a better offball player n learn how to shoot. Onball Jalen gon look good if his shots are going in like in March, if not he gon look like lost once again.
Jalen is going thru his Year 1 to Year 2 leap this summer.
Frank! You finally got it!! I have been saying this from the jump. Jalen was an AAU Baby, then taught by Silas, he never knew how to play BASKETBALL, correctly, until last yr. Sengun been playing pro ball since he was 14-15….HUGE DIFFERENCE! Jalen needed time
You're right, Sengun needs to be more conditioned BUT he needs to improve his 3pt shot and help spread the court
Frank, you named all these 2 man combos who Green and Sengun are the least comparable to, and didn't mention the combo who they are the most comparable to which is Fox and Sabonis.. why??? Is this because it puts a damper in the point you are trying to make? The fact is as it is with the Kings and would have been if it wasn't for Murray saving Jokic is that your not winning a championship with this archetype of player at the 5, unless you are projecting Sengun to be top 10 center of All-Time it's not happening.. furthermore; Sengun anchoring a top 10 defense is misleading. Sengun seen the least amount of attempts at the rim out of all Centers who played more than 30 minutes, but yet had the highest field goal percentage by opponents at the rim…this just means no one was getting beat by their man, and in the rare occasion someone did get beat, they score on Sengun
Great show and Go Rockets!!
Jalen is the most talented player on the Houston Rockets and this team will go as far as Jalen Green takes them and he will ball out this year just watch!!!!
JG game hasn't developed at all since year one.
Silas was so so soo bad
I think Jalen is like Bruce Leroy in the movie The Last Dragon. He has all the talent but he has to find it in himself to use it. In the movie Bruce LeRoy had to face a near death experience find it. In the NBA Jalen is coming up on a contract year – hopefully he can figure it out like Bruce LeRoy.
