Should the Rockets keep Jaylen Green? Expert tips: If you improve 2 skills, you can compare to Edwards

The Timberwolves led by Edwards directly entered the NBA Western Conference Finals as sixth in the West. Although they temporarily lag behind the Thunder 1:3, it has to be said that the Timberwolves still have a chance. Edwards is the best player to have emerged in recent years for the Timberwolves, and he has even replaced Towns as the core. The Timberwolves retained Edwards last summer and sent Towns to the New York Knicks to reduce their cap space. Now Edwards has become one of the best shooting guards in the league, while Jaylen Green, who is about his age, has been struggling with the Rockets.

Jail Green of the Rockets averaged only 21 points per game. The Rockets mainly play team basketball on the offensive end. Whoever feels better will score, and there is no fixed top-level scoring point; on the defensive end, the Rockets are also one of the strongest teams in the league, which also ensures that they can ranking second in the West in the regular season, but this more or less erases the personality and talent of some players.

Jaylen Green is known as "the best of the two," and his talent must be quite good. Whether it is static talent or dynamic talent, it was the reason why the Rockets chose him back then. As the Rockets now has the highest draft pick, Jaylen Green's performance over the past four years is still a bit disappointing, especially in the playoffs. Many experts even suggest that the Rockets should send Jaylen Green away as soon as possible - after all, the four-year training time is not short, and the 23-year-old Jaylen Green is no longer a rookie. His performance in the playoffs is so poor that it is indeed not worth the Rockets' continued training.

However, NBA expert Trenton Whiting posted a message pointing out that Jaylen Green actually has strong potential, and the Rockets should not just give up on him. The expert believes that the Rockets have been looking for an excellent scorer to help the team win next season. In fact, this role is more like being left to Jaylen Green than chasing superstars, because Jaylen Green has always had potential and first-class physical fitness, and he has not reached his peak yet.

The expert also believes that Jaylen Green is far from fulfilling his talent: he is very thin, but his athleticism is comparable to players such as Morant, Edwards and even teammate Amen Thompson. But players such as Thompson and Morant are strong enough to use their strength to squeeze out the defenders. Once they reach the basket, they can attack the basket and complete the score. Edwards often score in this way.

And Jaylen Green is obviously too thin now, and he is still strengthening his physical confrontation and defense. Choosing to break through and attack the basket may be the most stable way to score, but what Jaylen Green needs to improve now is his dribbling and the strength on the opponent. If these two skills can be improved, he will become a first-class scorer and can break into the paint area more easily, which will open up more space for the Rockets' mid-range shooting and three-point shooting.

Although Jaylen Green doesn't seem to be a superstar now, he still has great potential. But now Jaylen Green still needs some skills improvement to become a real star. So this expert has been suggesting that the Rockets should not give up Jaylen Green too early, because his huge talent has not been fully realized. The Rockets still need to wait patiently. After Jaylen Green's dribbling and confrontational ability have increased, he can become an Edwards-level star.
