I would be careful about writing him off yet. Nobody has had to adjust more to their new role in the offense than Jalen Green. He’s already much better on defense than last year, and his playmaking has taken a good leap. There’s reason to believe in him.
Now, he unquestionably has to be better at some things right now. Turnovers, missed layups, and missed free throws are killing us. He can fix those things immediately, and he’ll be much better. That’s on nobody but him.
You also have to remember how young he is and who he played with before this year. “But wait, u/gregyo,” you might be thinking, “Sengun is the same age and was in the same situation!” Yes, that’s true, however, I think that speaks to how special Sengun is. Sengun is one of the highest IQ players in the league. That’s not a reflection on Jalen.
He might not take that all star leap this year, but I’d be hesitant to write him off so soon into this year.
did you guys not notice how gassed the Lakers and Clippers were in beating us? I know Jalen did not have good games but that’s partly because he was late in the Clippers game going against Kawhi. These two LA teams have a collection of players who should be destroying teams like ours except they are barely eking out wins. We are on the right track with an upward trajectory.
