His hype up to now was built on the backs of teenage girls, and we know you like what they like
Looks are a pretty good indicator of future greatness.
So now you think Jalen Green will be the greatest player of all time? That’s his trajectory according to you?
I Remember when you said Chandler Hutchinson was the next Pippen.
Just because you have similar ability to another player doesn't mean you will match their accomplishments. Also read what I said about him again. He reminds me of Jordan circa 1982 as a freshmen at UNC. What made Mike the GOAT is he continued to get better. All Jalen has right now are Jordan's tools. Does he have Mike's work ethic and competitiveness? That is what will ultimately determine if he's destined for all-time greatness.
Cade Cunningham is a young Mike Miller when he was in Orlando. Solid player but nothing special. No way is he close to Brandon Roy.

He doesn’t have Jordan’s body size or hand size IMO. I think he looks more 6’4” or 6’5” than a legit 6’6”.
True. But Jordan seemed to grow throughout his career so its possible Jalen adds another inch. He just turned 19.

This a terrible take.
You calling Jalen Green the next Michael Jordan and Cade the next Mike Miller you crazy.

LWO representa
One thing I noticed is players today look much smaller . For example Book Is 6’6 but looks small compared to older players that height
I do like green tho, it’s just if he ends up on the warriors he’ll be waiting years.

Yes. Jalen Green looks no bigger than Beal.
Cade on the other hand is a legit 6’8 tho
And if Booker is 6’6 then Kobe was 6’9 lol

Why are nikkas using swag to determine how a player will be on the next level?
This a terrible take.

We'll see whose right in a few years. Remember my takes on Jayson Tatum and Markelle Fultz were considered crazy in 2017. Now in 2021 its become self evident.
The gap between Jalen Green and Cade Cunningham in 4 years will be similarly wide.
Cause I got the track record to back it up. I was the only one in 2017 to say Tatum was the best player in that draft and Fultz was a bust. Then in 2019 I was the first to compare Zion to a 6'6" Shaq.
I know talent better than anyone.

Need to see him operating from the mid-post a bit more if he's 6'6". Right now everything is downhill, similar to Murray State Ja Morant. He's doing what works though, dude is legit for sure.
Nah don’t see it

He may very well end up being better than Suggs but your reasoning is wrong and ridiculous and makes it clear you haven't actually watched the dude play or you have some weird definition of 'swag'. Dude is hypercompetive and extremely confident. Also I always find it funny when cats who watch a few highlights act like folks that have scouted these guys since their sophomore years in HS have no idea what they're talking about because a guy is rated 1 spot higher than you think he should be lol
