Jalen Green's stock has risen so high that he could be a top-two pick in the NBA draft. loung_s explains why.
The reason why Green could eventually end up as the best player from this year’s draft is because no other prospect has as much promise to become a legitimate go-to scorer the way Green appears to.
He shot a respectable 36.5 per cent from three on 85 attempts in the G League last season and was an 82.9 per cent free-throw shooter, a solid indicator that he’s already a good shooter with sound mechanics, transferable to any level of the game. This all equates to a player with the potential to score in bunches at all three levels, and is a significant reason why he’s apparently moved up the board. The goal of the game remains to get buckets, and Green can do that.The most encouraging indicator of Green’s long-term NBA future in the G League was the strides he appeared to take as a primary ball-handler and playmaker.
Putting the ball in the basket will likely always be Green’s primary role on a basketball team, but that he recognizes he’ll need to find ways to get his teammates involved already at such a young age bodes well for his future potential as a star.For all of his talents, Green feels like the biggest boom-or-bust prospect among the top names in the draft.
Green, right now, doesn’t have the strength to do all of that. At best, he’ll be able to stick with smaller, quicker guards because he does have the athleticism and lateral quickness to do so, but that’s only if he stays locked in on defence.
