Even though he’s had his ups and downs to start during his rookie season, I still believe that Jalen Green has been quite impressive. Green is averaging 15 points, four rebounds, and three assists on 38 percent shooting from the field.

He’s struggling with his efficiency on the offensive end, but that’s something that will hopefully improve as he gains more experience in the league. The sky is the limit for Green on the offensive end of the floor and has already drawn comparisons to several all-time greats.

Green turned heads in just his third game of the season in which he logged 30 points on 8-10 shooting from 3-point range. It will truly be interesting to see what Green looks like when he’s fully comfortable with his role in Houston.
