The Defense was geared at keeping Jalen from getting the ball and having any space or even bringing the ball up the court without trapping
The other 50 percent of the time it was in van fleets hands
Amen offensively has no expectations and scores all his points in transition or off slashing and put backs
Very different players
And this series Jalen played pretty good defense. Maybe that was his role.
Maybe all the over hyping Amen is to boost his trade value and Rockets know Phoenix wants him.
Maybe Jalen looked bad because he DOESNT want to get traded
I dunno but we will see when a deal gets made.
I’d say JABARI SMITH JR looked the best in limited minutes this series among the young players (just like Draymond said)
He’s the one who Houston definitely shouldn’t trade.
But i personally think a SEGUN centered team is going nowhere
I’d like to see
Vanfleet
Green
Durant
Jabari
Adams
That Durant & Green duo might open up both players offensive possibilities
And Jabari will get all the open 3s he can imagine
Just my 2 cents
