Man the big men are coming back in a big way. They will run this league for the next decade.
No idea why he wasn't drafted sooner either. All the analysts were on top of it. Saying he was probably the most intriguing prospect in the draft.

Jalen Green man I just don't see it tho. Shooting the 3 well this year at 37% but that's all he does. Dreadful playmaker, worst defender, and is only hitting 40% of his 2s. I always thought him over Mobley was nuts at the time and looking back it feels even worst now. He got lots of Lavine comparisons but by year 3 Lavine was already a 57+ TS% guy and ignoring his posr ACL tear had been 56+ ever since. He really needs to start showing something or I think his ceiling might just be a 6th man.
He was drafted after Mitchell and Murray went back and forth having that epic playoff series. That 6'4 scoring guard was en vogue then and he fit the archetype. Any other year and he doesn't get near the hype.

We got really lucky that Houston fell in love with Jalen Green. Cavs already had Garland so they weren't going to pick him or Suggs. Scottie could have very likely went 3rd in that draft to the Cavs if Houston didn't take Green and we'd probably have Giddey on the roster right now.

Is he efficient? I saw the 4th quarter of a game where he was taking a lot of bad shots.
