Basketballnews.com: 10 years from now we will wonder why Cade Cunningham was chosen over Jalen Green

[VegetasHairline]

Not even 5 years later and nobody is thinking this.

 

[Controversy]

Both Cade & Jalen were worthy picks

Jalen is a 20 pt scorer...and he played on a team where everyone needs the rock, so him dropping 20 while improving his def is impressive

Cade is top dog on a team that needs him to produce...Cade wouldn't be 26-9-6 in Houston

Both are really good players tho

After the world sees “playoff Jalen Green” I think everyone will say it

Why wouldn’t Cade put up those numbers in Houston? He’d be the best player, and he’d be playing with a better supporting cast

Jalen is barely averaging 20 lol

If he's the best player on your team you're not sniffing a Finals, you'll be lucky to make the playoffs tbh.

It's not even that serious of a knock on him. There's only 6-7 current stars that are elite 1A options for championship teams.

lol What you saying now little bruh?

It's not a knock on Jalen because he's done good things and is filling the role Houston requires as best he can this year - but swap him out with Cade and this Houston core as currently constructed could seriously contend for a title in the coming years and ascend the same way OKCs group has.

That's never gonna happen with Jalen as their leading scorer/guard, some form of a trade and consolidation is coming.

You need Jalen out the way so Amen can blossom. That’s what’s coming. Trade Green for a real Point.

You’re pretty confident for a pistons team that’s been absolutely horrible every year Cades been leading them until now

And still Jalen is the best player on the better team with statistics showing they win depending on how well he’s scoring

Shoot em some bail we got five years left. We've "got plenty of time."

Jalen ain't the best or even 2nd best player on the Rockets. Leadin scorer =/= best player. Anyone who think Jalen better than Amen or Sengun got a questionable hoops IQ lol

Has his defense improved really? If it did it ain't much. I seen Denver game and they plan was just attackin em. He clearly weak link in Houston defense. He just lucky they got arguably the best combo of defense and reboundin around him. He got one of the easiest jobs where all he asked to do is score and he still only doin that at a Jordan Clarkson level. Hot and cold nikka, doesn't pass much, not a reboundin guard, worst defender on the team.

Lmao Jalen is not the best player on the rockets Cmon my nikka. What has Jalen lead? His stats across the board are exactly the same, he has not improved anything.

Rockets were 13-1 when Jalen scored 30 or more. I see you hating on Jalen every chance you get, but Houston finished #2 in the superior Western Conference with Jalen as the leading scorer on the team. Give the man some credit, god damn.

Cool, he is not the best player on the Rockets, not even the second best. Idk what the fukk you’re talking about some 13-1 when on the season he averages 21 on 42% shooting.

He’s good but trying to credit him with the rockets success is crazy.

Sengun averaged 19/10/5 this year
Amen as a started averaged 16/9/5 with nearly 2 steals and 2 blocks

And tbh the top half of the east is superior to the west this year

You're recommending the two seed to trade their leading scorer, who is 23 years old and just played 82 fukking games. It's pure hating shyt.

By next year you’ll see. He will only be taking shots away from Amen and Sengun.

Jalen Green literally has not improved in any category since his sophomore year. He’s easily replaceable.
