Jalen Green is one of the most promising young guards in basketball as he enters his second NBA season in 2022-23.
Green averaged 17.3 points per game as a rookie after being selected with the No. 2 pick in the 2021 draft, and following a sluggish start, closed his first campaign as a professional with a flurry. Green scored 30-plus points in six of his final seven games to close 2021-22, including a 41-point outburst in the season finale against Atlanta. After finishing his rookie year with a flurry of dunks and step-back threes, expectations are high for Houston’s new face of the franchise.
