Jalen Green came on strong near the end of his rookie season, showing some of his true potential with several games of over 30 points. Green should continue to develop in his second season with the Rockets. His scoring potential is through the roof.

The addition of Jabari Smith will allow Green to take advantage of more one-on-one matchups where Green can excel. He has the upside of becoming a Zach LaVine type of scorer, where he can get to the basket with ease, and after averaging 17 points per game, he may average 20-22 this coming season if his comfort continues to grow in the league.

There’s no question that Green is considered one of the most talented young offensive players in the league right now.
