The 21-year-old is averaging 30 points per game, and the Rockets are aiming for the best sixth man
The Rockets haven't been doing well in recent days, especially against the Pelicans, who finished 11th in the East with a 22-25 run and looked like they were far from qualifying for the playoffs. However, despite the defeat at the hands of the Pelicans, one player played well, and the 21-year-old Jalen Green gave a glimmer of hope to the Rockets' managers.
Jalen Green scored 31 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists on 20 shots in the game, and although he didn't play the team well, he played quite well in this game, he was a big threat, and his consistent three-point shooting gave the Pelicans a headache. This is not just Jalen Green's first good performance, Jalen Green has scored 29 in his last five games8 points, 72 rebounds, 38 assists, along with a 52 percent three-point shooting percentage and a 36 percent three-point percentage.
Jalen Green showed his leadership qualities in an exclusive interview with reporters after the game. Asked why the Rockets didn't have four weeks in a row, Jalen Green said, "We need to be more consistent, and we're going to keep it that way every night, like we did in that game against the Lakers." "Be prepared to defend every night. "Even though the Rockets didn't get a big game, Jalen Green's stellar play gave them a chance to make the playoffs, and according to the latest reports, the Rockets are now ready to trade Brogdon for the Trail Blazers.
Brogg has contributed an average of 15 per game this season8 points, 37 rebounds, 55 assists. Brogdon is an all-round player who is not only talented in attack, but also able to provide a lot of assists to his teammates on the field. In addition, the 31-year-old Brogdon can also teach his experience to the younger generation of the Rockets, allowing the talented Whitmore and Amen Thompson to mature as quickly as possible, which is exactly what the Rockets' top brass want.
Portland, on the other hand, didn't seem to have any intention of keeping Brogdon, and after Lillard left, Brogdon's results plummeted. Portland is now 15-33 and 14th in the East. This result also allowed Portland to strengthen the team's rejuvenation plan, and it also made Brogdon, the sixth man of the season, lose a lot of value. If Portland could trade Brogdon for proper rebuilding funding, they would be happy.
The Rockets, on the other hand, are a young team that has enough young people and enough chips to trade Brogdon. If the Rockets can acquire Brogdon, it will make them more competitive for the rest of the season, and Uccello's desire for the playoffs will become a reality.
