At age 22, he still have time. Green career so far reminds me of Malik Monk. It took Monk about 6 season to figure it. Everybody thought Monk was a bust by year 3. This is the first season that Cade has objectively performed much better than Green. Other than that they pretty much been neck and neck. Who knows how the rest of the season plays out. Cade being the main facilitator in Detroit just plays with more urgency. If everything is going good, Green typically will fall back. He did last game against the Hornets. He could’ve got greedy and got his but he let the rest of the team eat since we were up big most of the game.
Cade is the floor general and Green is a rhythm scorer. Because Ime’s offense(or lack thereof
)has no system or more
Import has no hierarchy to it, Green doesn’t catch that rhythm. I’ve seen only couple nba guys really
Understand and break it down in articles and on YouTube.. One guy said he watched about dozen straight Houston games and seen the issue for Jalen. There’s no hierarchy in Houston offense. It’s literally people getting their shots off and the issue with that is guys look for their own shot. The last person to do that is Green. Jabari, Dillon, Tari, Cam and FVV hunt for their shots. Houston leads the league in most fgs without assists and bad shots. Jalen isnt top 5 on the teams in that category: for the most part, Jalen takes the most quality shots. Him and Sengun at relays selfish players other roster in the main rotations(Amen is pretty unselfish too).
I don’t think the Cade vs Green discussion will ever be over in the near future. It’s jsut different circumstances. Cade is the best player in Detroit with free rein. Green is playing on swanning team with more equal distribution. When Sengun or FV doesn’t play and Green has to be the main man, his numbers are substantially better and more efficient. Hes just never the anonguys in Houston like Cade is insert unless injuries happened. We saw what last season when Sengun went down. Green carries the with elite numbers to a winning record and a 10+ game winning streak so
miss me with the Cade argument.. Most Houston or Green fans on this board stopped caring about Cade a long time ago.
Case and point this season when FVV doesn’t play, Green average 25 ppg on 44% shooting
Last year, when Sengun didn’t play Green average 25 ppg on 45% shooting and 38% from 3.
Last year when FVV didn’t play, Green average 27 ppg.
It’s the same story in The Silas era when Christian wood didn’t play
