Jalen green is one of the bounciest quickest guards ive ever seen on the suns and he just gets zero separation. Truly baffling.

Changsta | PHX

He’s really good at stopping on a dime to shoot a step back long range 2 pointer. Unfortunately, this is such a low value shot and he doesn’t even do it at a good enough %. Just let Booker shoot his smooth middies instead.

putting on my tinfoil cap i think this is an alert from the pels to tell other teams give something semi-decent up and he’s yours. they’ve already got mathurin rotting away not to mention poole, really have no need for green at all

dentaiga

It’s precisely because he’s so quick and bouncy that he’s never learned how to adjust to NBA level defenders that can keep up with him. No hesitation, no misdirection, no contortion, no strength to finish through contact (though tbf refs never give him a good whistle either). Just goes straight up with it and gets blocked/stripped like 75% of the time. Supposedly he also has small hands and can’t palm the ball so he straight up loses it a ton on his own while gathering too. Painful.

Yes. Green has a cap hit $3.7 million more than Murray, and the Pelicans are $4 million under the tax.

(Because of incentives, the Pelicans are essentially hard-capped at the tax line, which their ownership is perfectly happy with.)
