Jalen Green

A mere 24 hours removed from seeing his electric, season-altering production go rewarded with his first-ever Western Conference Player of the Week nod, Jalen Green was right back in the air, outhanging opponents and pondering over what could be accomplished next. Having set the groundwork with yet another demonstrative open against the Washington Wizards, the thrilling third-year guard tests the limits of his own athleticism, winning the race to the rim with a lightning-quick crossover before taking flight with one long-armed defender impeding his path. Unable to find a release with his left hand, Green adjusts his plans mid-flight, switching to his right for a jaw-dropping, acrobatic finish on the other side of the rim. One of the Association’s quickest-rising talents in every sense of the word, the Houston Rockets star tied his career-high with 42 points, along with 10 rebounds, three assists, one steal, one block, and seven triples on March 19, 2024, further bolstering Houston’s Play-In race opportunities.
