I think Jalen gets fouled a lot driving to the basket. It's just when he has a bad game the refs don't give him calls. No respect from the refs or me either. I think Jalen will improve but not much. The stats you gave are misleading. Jalen has not provided starter numbers in his 3 seasons. This is the contract year. After Jalen gets a new contract he could very well go back to being "one month" Jalen. I wouldn't risk signing him. Not all of these young players will fit under the salary cap down the line. Jalen should be the first cast off. He has a lack of standards in my opinion.
Right now Jalen is like a fighter who goes out and throws power punches all fight long. He just needs to learn how to supplement his strengths with a set up game.
I’m watching this after the KAT/Julius Randle trade, and one comment I saw posited that Randle was gonna be trade bait for KD. If that happens, then that means we’re probably getting Devin Booker. I see Jalen Green and one of Tari/Bari/Cam plus the Suns picks back as compensation in exchange for Book. What do you think?
Good pod Jackson. I agree with your take on Jalen, but not Cam. I think Cam is more small forward that shooting guard. I do agree however his biggest jump needs to be on the defensive end. how well he plays defense will have a lot to do with how many minutes he gets IMO
Interesting. How so? Cam is stronger... That's the only thing I can think of. Jalen Green came into them league as a far better ball handler, a lot more laterally agile.
@@farhan007 I think cam is better without the ball he’s more athletic and has size . if his worth ethic matches green . I think he’ll be better . I believe that’s why Houston didn’t sign him to an extension
@@fairwiz5722 how is he more athletic? Cam doesn't have the lateral agility, acceleration and "bendyness" of Jalen. The only attribute he's more figured at is strength. They are the same height. Green is just far more creative with his handles and footwork and has a lot more advanced lay up package.
@@farhan007 Green definitely has some upside . If cam learns how to use his strength to create space , work on the handle I like our chances if green doesn’t work . Green is questionable seems soft IMO
This is so true. It amazes me that some fans do not know that Cam has a way, way higher field goal percentage than Jalen. Cam led the NBA in points per minute too. Cam is what Stone wants Jalen to be but he doesn't give Cam the minutes on the court. It just doesn't make since to play Jalen over Cam. I wish Ime would explain it to me. He would probably say Stone doesn't want Jalen to be a bust so give him the reps.
Jalen has already proved what he is. He's been consistently inconsistent for three seasons. I don't expect more from him. Unfortunately, there are people who expect more from him despite the 3 years of hard evidence.
I see a lot of people saying Cam is a small forward. Look around the league and a lot of small forwards are playing shooting guard. Jalen cannot compete with Cam in shooting. Give Cam more minutes when he is hot.
Shout out from 3rd Ward ,Texas the reason Green can't even be compared to Ja or D/Fox they gonna be on the floor in 4th at Crunchtime and gonna get last shot
@@pitongus Nah 60% at the rim that’s a bit below average but nowhere near the worst Fred and Scoot both 45.1%. Also Cam was 19 all of last season his rim efficiency will certainly go up more as he adjusts to playing against grown men
Trade him to Detroit so he can run the court with Cade or trade him to the Clippers so he and KPJ can paint each others fingernails. I'd trade Jalen and Dillon for Harden so fast...
Here is a left field hypothetical.... What if he becomes the stetting lead guard, pg of the future? I think he's closer to being a lead guard than Amen, Reed or Cam mainly because he's the best ball handler of the group.
@@andreagori5634 are you implying they have star potential and Green doesn't? That's kinda unhinged if that is what you are saying. I'd say Jalen has the highest ceiling of any of those players.
Hi Jackson. I have a lot of respect for you but I don't understand why you keep claiming Jalens has playmaking skills? It was painful to watch FVV and Sengun telling and showing Jalen where to stand or what to do day after day. Jalen can't read the court, and cannot adopt to the changing game dynamics.
Jalen can playmake, has high basketball IQ and can read the court with the best of em. I think you're mistaking him for kpj, who's no longer on the team anymore.
@@brandonthomas4175 Jalen has a very low basketball IQ and it's visible. He had 3.5 assists per game in the last season. It is extremely low for a guard that plays 30+ minutes. He also had 17.3 Ast% which is not great. Jalen's can do two things and nothing else, attacking the rim and shooting 3s. He's not very good at both.
@@brandonthomas4175 I've watched Jalen drive to the basket 3 or 4 times a game and get blocked under the goal. In many, many games. I don't call that high basketball IQ. I call that insane.
On the 3rd year of jalen last season the nba begun to dont call tivky tacky foul so jalen when ever drive he was foul a lot but referee dont call coz he is not a superstar like q curry or doncic
Fred needs to be gone after this year and Dillon after next year. Not bc I don’t like them but bc that’s the only way our main guys moving forward can get solid minutes
@@bastadimasta 100% worth every penny for last season and this season. But I think after this year… our guys are a bit older and understand how to be successful in the league. Idk if paying Fred 40m’s in year 3 for role model Purposes would be warranted anymore
There is nobody on the team that can fill Fred's shoes right now. This is the season the training wheels come off and the best players are going to play. We saw last season how the Rockets play without Fred. I don't want to pay for Fubo and then watch crap like that. I heard Craig Ackerman say that Dillon alerts the players on what kind of defense to play and moves the players around in the right position. But when Dillon was out, I thought the Rockets played well. I want to see Tari play. Start Dillon but cut his minutes or trade him.
I swear people keep expecting orange juice out of a lemon. Either we can make lemonade with what green is and has proven he is or we can keep being delusional thinking hes gonna turn into kobe in a year. Lets get real and trade him while we can for a halliburton or a booker or a monk or tyler herro. We need a guy that has the potential when they turn 27 to be big time. That only happens when they are a certain swag. Meaning who would make it in county lockup. Jalen wouldnt make it. No swag. Herro would probly get his ass beat but hell give em the one two at least. Monk aint giving up no type of booty hes that dude. Halliburton and book are about the same theyll fight and lose. Jalen to me would run and try and get a guard to help him and cry at the door. Thats how you can tell someone has the champ dna. Would they last a month in county.
Can’t wait for the season to start
You can and you will
😂...
I can't either..
I'm not even from Houston, I'm from Cincinnati..... but they got a damn all star team down there...

Jalen would have a lot more FTA if he stops losing the ball on drives so much, of all the comps you named he’s the only one that does that.
Exactly!!
Jalen would have more FTA if he could drive in an unclogged paint smh… like he had when Sengun was gone

Jalen was #8 in 3P attempts and #149 in 3P%.
I guess that sums up his personality.
Jackson have you forgot Jalen getting battered with no calls last season? Getting to the line is not just on the player
I'm telling yall we're gonna look back halfway through the szn wondering why Jalen was ever in trade talks.
It's his year.
Right now Jalen is like a fighter who goes out and throws power punches all fight long. He just needs to learn how to supplement his strengths with a set up game.
Right now Jalen is like a fighter who's afraid of getting punched.
Jackson, don’t know where we can watch Rockets Media Day? Will you be streaming it on your channel?
Am in love with Rockets forever ❤
You sound like a good guy
Cam is not a SG, he's a natural forward.
Cam is a 2 or 3
Lots of small forward play shooting guard.
Jalen Green didn’t get a lot of fouls called on him last year. He should’ve had way more FTA.
That indicates his fear of physical confrontation. That's how they shut Jalen on the court.

You'll change your mind eventually.
@@Nick-ok4eq I sincerely hope so. Unfortunately, I remember myself sincerely hoping so for three year along with thousands of Rocket fans.

Cam is too tunnel vision right now

I really like Jaylen but if he doesn’t work out this year what’s Houston’s next move ?
No worries. We already have several options.
Trade him to Miami perhaps. 🤣
