Sengun is a hard worker. He earned his position by utilizing his amazing talent with impeccable work ethics.
We Turks know who Alpy is. Still, he is 65 %. Why? Yes, conditioning. He is working on it all summer. The Rockets lack a real sniper from the perimeter. And now they have it. 3 point % of the Rockets affected Alpy's assists. Now add a minimum of 3 assists per game to his average. He showed all of you that he could defend. This year, he was so freaked because of the injury. So he worked a lot to avoid possible injuries. I bet his numbers will be close to triple-double per game. The last thing anybody knows is if his height is increased?.
Frank! You finally got it!! I have been saying this from the jump. Jalen was an AAU Baby, then taught by Silas, he never knew how to play BASKETBALL, correctly, until last yr. Sengun been playing pro ball since he was 14-15....HUGE DIFFERENCE! Jalen needed time
I’ve echoed this for a while brother but thanks for
I think my biggest takeaway from you today is your question about JG being able to be mature enough to accept being the secondary or tertiary player just in case Alpi becomes that super Nova player that we think he can be? That is the biggest if I think!
Frank, spot on per usual. For Jalen - I've seen enough to know he's not a bust. How high he ends up depends on him finding consistency. I want to see his effort on the non scoring aspects grow.
For Al-P - Keep improving. I would like to see his rebounding numbers increase and a decent increase in his 3 percentage would be amazing.
The floor for both these guys was who they were last year. I think they'll both get to where we need them with the added bonus of years of chemistry.
That doesn't even factor in Jabari...
Both players need the respect of the fans. The fans' criticism is ruthless and is harming the team.
As for the duo you've talked about, -which is the naked truth, Amen and even Reed looks like better options to pair with Alpie then Jalen at the moment. Amen managed to build the right chemistry with Sengun in a short amount of time. And, Reed is a sneaky athlete like Sengun. Better shot selection/shooting along with a team-first mentality can put Jalen in the pole position tho.
"Right now" meaning after zero games played? Ok great
@@mariogonzb you mean Reed.. i see u. But Amen established the chemistry with his big in 3 monhts, -which Jalen couldn't in 3 years.
The pressure on Jalen was immense from the moment he was drafted. Some fans expected him to immediately step into a leadership role and become their new "James Harden." However, he lacked veteran guidance and a seasoned coach to mentor him. For two years, he relied on his high school skills and instincts to navigate the NBA. Despite this, he managed to average around 20 points per game, a testament to his raw talent. Last season was what I consider Jalen's real rookie year under Ime and vets like Fred. That's why I remain optimistic about his future. The same can be said for my boy Alpi. I believe they'll both make significant strides this season. 🙏
To be honest they was tryna put KPJ in that harden role
Tbh he scored 20 a game because somebody had too .Eg coulda if he was given that same role 😂
💯💯💯
1. He struggled a lot till March, after March he struggled again. So more than half of the season.
2. Idk what clicked for you late January but February was actually the worst month for Rockets. 12 game 3W-9L.
Jalen 12 game %36 fg, %23 3pt. 15.8 point 4.8 reb, 3.7 assist. I mean he had double digit rebounds late January for 3 game in a row yes but after that numbers went back to 2,3,4.
3. Alp didnt come as the starter. Luckily for Alp (Sorry Bruno) Bruno got injured then Alp got the spot.
Lastly i agree with the condition stuff for Alp. For Jalen yeah he gotta be more consistent but i wanna see better offball Jalen, cuz onball Jalen is not a teamplayer. He is not a playmaker, he cant create for others, he is not a good passer. Just be a better offball player n learn how to shoot. Onball Jalen gon look good if his shots are going in like in March, if not he gon look like lost once again.
Thank you for pointing out the harsh truth with solid numbers. I agree with you 100%.
People tend to overlook Jalen's consistent bad play for the sake of a few good games.
Green is overrated by casual fan girls
Come on Frank !!! I guess you are entitled to your opinion, but facts are facts. Men lie, woman lie, but the numbers don't.
@@justmythoughts101 hips don't lie also. Maybe it's Jalen's hips😅
I thought Jalen blended in well with the team his rookie year. Silas is the one that mislead him and tried to give him superstar mentality before he even had his basics down. I think Jalen's thought process is way different than anyone on the team. I'm thinking his little mini camp might be undermining the direction Udoka wants to take the Rockets. As soon as the Rockets get rid of Green they will start winning more. He is not a championship ingredient or even a starter on any team except one where Rafael Stone is the GM.
Jalen doesn't have enout iq to pair up wirt Sengun. So far, Tari is the best one to read Sengun's game and position himself. I believe Reed and Sengul will be a great duo.
Disagree but we will get answers this year
@@ROCKETSCHOPSHOP Which part do you disagree with? If it's the last part, then I have to ask you why.
Jalen IQ
@@ROCKETSCHOPSHOP I respect you a lot Frank. Let's wait for another year.
@ROCKETSCHOPSHOP
Most fans aren’t aware of what was happening behind the scenes before Ime arrived. The culture was in shambles, largely influenced by KPJ’s behavior both on and off the court, including in the locker room. Rafael Stone was manipulating the roster with the intention of losing games to secure the number one draft pick. In fact, there was a point when Tilman Fertitta was seriously considering bringing back Harden. Harden, while still playing for Brooklyn, was even showing up at the Toyota Center when he was in town, trying to politic with management and players in anticipation of his return.
I can’t go into too much detail, but Silas was set up to fail from the very beginning. Jalen and the rookies were thrown into a difficult situation, compounded by a fan base that became deeply divided over which player they wanted the team to draft. Fans were largely split between Cunningham and Mobley, and this division has unfortunately bled into the fan base. Frank, you’re spot on about Jalen’s consistency being key to his development, but you can look back at last year and see that Jalen was making strides in every aspect of his game. This kid never received the proper development, and even his entry into the league was far from traditional. Last year felt more like Jalen’s true rookie year.
I’m also tired of “fans” loosely using the term “Basketball IQ” to speak down on Jalen Green. “Basketball IQ” was a term historically used to dismiss basketball players of color, and it’s disrespectful. Jalen has shown that he’s more than mentally capable of playing at the highest level. His maturity is coming, and Ime is giving him the tools to take his game to the next level.
100% agree
Alpy should add 2-3% to his 2p and 3p shooting and 5-10% to 1p shoot.
Assists will improve with better shooters around him. Ribaunds as you said will Come with more Power and will.
You are literally top 2 and not 2 at basketball breakdown videos 🔥🔥💪🏼💪🏼🚀🚀
Appreciate that
Jalen and alpi will get their max contract after this years playoff run. Don't worry much. Future is bright!!
Great content!
Good pod Frank. I agree with you the Silas years were useless for both players. he taught them nothing, however IMO Jalen developed more bad habits than Alperen which caused him to struggle more once Ime took over. I believe what we saw in the 2nd half of the year was Jalen adapting to the pressure of Ime's demanding style. the clay was finally in the potter's hand. I expect both players, but especially Jalen to have breakout years. there is no doubt in my mind Jalen has the physical abilities to be a star, but lacked the knowledge of how to use those abilities. it was like a person learning how to swim. they have the ability to do it, but getting the rythum of the motion down was the problem. now that Jalen has a compotent swimming instructor he is beginning to use his ability. the more laps he takes in the pool the better he will get at it.
Thanks Frank
Good video. And I agree with your assessments. And I’m hopeful for next season’s outcome for both players. The only difference I’d say that I have with this video is the word “consistency.” I know where you’re coming from and and what you mean when you say consistent. But still, as you already know, consistency can go both ways. Consistently good or consistently bad. And like I said, I know what you mean. The word that I would choose for next season is dependable. Sengun is already dependable. I hope Jalen becomes that too.
Great show and Go Rockets!!
That’s why a good backup big man would help Sengun. But yeah excited to see Jalen stay consistent, something looks different.
After saying all that, are you giving both of them "max" contracts? If not, are you not giving a max contract to?
I think Jalen is like Bruce Leroy in the movie The Last Dragon. He has all the talent but he has to find it in himself to use it. In the movie Bruce LeRoy had to face a near death experience find it. In the NBA Jalen is coming up on a contract year - hopefully he can figure it out like Bruce LeRoy.
Hi Frank. I disagree with you on one detail. I observed that Sengun performs the best when he's about near exhaustion. I think the lack of Oxygen slows down his thinking mind and puts him into the zone.
A lot of games his defense and rebounding suffered when he was fatigued late.. he can always score and create but if he wants to be next level he has to be able to finish out the games on both ends the same way he starts
@@ROCKETSCHOPSHOP Bad performance is normal when a player is exhausted.
What I'm talking is that Sengun has a sweet spot when he's near exhaustion but not exhausted. I think he would be unstoppable if he learns to put himself into the zone without exhausting himself.
That’s the point .. you want to be able to raise your level of play when you’re tired.. he needs to be in better shape to be the primary focus of the defense every night.. that’s why his offseason has been a lot of strength and conditioning
@@ROCKETSCHOPSHOP I agree but again he's a hard worker. I believe in him.
@@bastadimasta i remember the games when he hit that sweat spot.. and just seeing that.. u sit there ask urself how.. while u was thinking he has nothing left in the tank.. that makes him so enjoyable, it's art, MJ was art.. now this boiy!!
Agreed with your assessment! I really have high hopes for those two in this upcomming season.
Jalen may have a much better year because he wants max contract and has to work real hard for it.
That's exactly why I don't respect Jalen. He only puts effort when he's about to lose his privileged position. I don't respect this kind of players.
We need players who feel personally insulted when losing a game.
" generational scorer " did he just say that? He had a good month against some bad teams. Then got benched in one of the most important games of the season. So, is he a "generational scorer" against bad teams?
Great information it seems that patience is the key for both of them.
I think they both start this year on fire. I think Houston shocks a lot of folks right off the jump. I said it, so remember you heard it right here 😂🎉
Trade Jalen to the Clippers so he and KPJ can paint each others fingernails. Just like old times. Bring Harden back. Then we can be in the playoffs. Just like old times.
Donte DiVincenzo made 3rd most 3's in the league last season. 1 less than Luka at 283 and on a 40.1% clip.
Sir this is a Wendy’s ..
They took different shots, Luka more off the dribble, Donte more catch and shoot
Another great analysis
Nice take Mr Frank ❤
I think Jalen Green will finally start becoming the player everybody wants him to be by the time he is 27. If you don't get a better shooting guard before then you are wasting the other players time.
Silas was so so soo bad
Shout out to my boy space ghost WAWG
Thanks!
Appreciate you bro
Jalen is going thru his Year 1 to Year 2 leap this summer.
😂😂😂😂😂
reed sheppard csg merch when?
stephen silas should never have another coaching job again. just got in cause his daddy
JG hates any type of body contact during the game (zero improvement, you can still see that from the vid of latest player-only-scrimmage-camp, Look! he tried to avoid contact, and his mates got along, will defenders from other team pet him like this lol), so for this reason his games ain't gonna move to next level, think about it have we watched any playoff games lack of contact and ruthless defense? Absolutely nah!
I love his quickness and long range shooting prowess (tho always on and off) but he ain't THAT guy no to mention the title go-to-guy HIM.
Jalen is the most talented player on the Houston Rockets and this team will go as far as Jalen Green takes them and he will ball out this year just watch!!!!
Talent is not enough solely. He must learn the game. Abd the good thing is the coach. We will get there.

🤘🏾
Idk I’m bustin to both
🤨
Hey Frank,
Trying to show love to yall on Cashapp.
What’s the new account?
$chopshophtx thanks bro
You're right, Sengun needs to be more conditioned BUT he needs to improve his 3pt shot and help spread the court
That will come in time
Actually we don't know if it'll come
Historically players with skill like his develop shot a decent perimeter game.. it may take years but it will come
@ROCKETSCHOPSHOP Historically? Sounds like wishful thinking. Hopefully every player gets this type of benefit of doubt
More importantly we want to see Sengun's defense & toughness improve. Jake Valanciunas shouldn't be destroying us regularly
JG game hasn't developed at all since year one.
Frank, you named all these 2 man combos who Green and Sengun are the least comparable to, and didn't mention the combo who they are the most comparable to which is Fox and Sabonis.. why??? Is this because it puts a damper in the point you are trying to make? The fact is as it is with the Kings and would have been if it wasn't for Murray saving Jokic is that your not winning a championship with this archetype of player at the 5, unless you are projecting Sengun to be top 10 center of All-Time it's not happening.. furthermore; Sengun anchoring a top 10 defense is misleading. Sengun seen the least amount of attempts at the rim out of all Centers who played more than 30 minutes, but yet had the highest field goal percentage by opponents at the rim...this just means no one was getting beat by their man, and in the rare occasion someone did get beat, they score on Sengun
I said “championship” brother
