After 140 games in the NBA, Jalen Green has learned to attack defenses but his 3-point...
Rockets guard Jalen Green has improved on his drives against defenses designed to stop him during his second season.The Rockets’ season will end in a few days, on time as expected from the start but sooner than any team would prefer. Jalen Green looks at the final days of his second season another way.
The test of that will come, but the plan is to continue that process even after the season ends Sunday in Washington.The improvement has been there, obvious in some ways, more subtle in others. The struggles, some that come from being the focus of every defensive game plan that other players so young rarely face, can be beneficial. Winning, however, has remained the measure of progress that has eluded him.“We’ll go into next year knowing how to handle it and just be better.
Green scored at least 20 points in 43 of 73 games, including 15 games scoring at least 30, up from 26 20-point games and eight 30-point games as a rookie. In his past 16 games, he averaged 24.1 points on 43.3 percent shooting after averaging 18.9 points on 38.7 percent shooting in his previous 11 games.
Green has had at least four assists in six consecutive games, the second-longest streak of his career, prior to Tuesday's game. He had been averaging 3.1 assists prior to those games and has averaged 4.6 since.
