Draft experts weigh in on Jalen Green’s improvement and his future potential

There is 1:32 left in the game, and the Houston Rockets have a 119-112 lead vs. one of the NBA’s best teams, the Memphis Grizzlies. The Rockets have possession, and a basket would put this game on ice. Christian Wood and Kevin Porter Jr. are having monster games. The Rockets, however, look to their second overall pick Jalen Green to close out the game.

A pick is set to get Brandon Clarke onto Green, and the rookie does not hesitate. Green goes right into his dribble moves, puts Clarke on skates, and hits a midrange stepback right in Clarke's face to finish off the Grizzlies and help the Rockets snap a 12-game losing streak.
