The famous call for the Rockets: Give Jaylen Green another chance! Lakers Kobe, who was compared

Since the Rockets were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs, many voices said that the Rockets should use their existing chips to exchange for a superstar. Now the Rockets are not short of second- and third-level players, such as Shin Kyung, Jaylen Green, Van Vritte, and even Amen Thompson.

But the problem is that the Rockets now lack a superstar-level leader. The Thunder have Alexander, the Lakers have James and Doncic, the Nuggets have Jokic, and even the Grizzlies have Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr. So among the strong teams in the West, the Rockets do not have the kind of top superstars in charge, and they will suffer a lot in the playoffs. In the playoffs, although players like Shin Kyung, Van Vreet, and Amen Thompson of the Rockets performed well, they were indeed inferior to Jimmy Butler and Curry at critical moments. So, it is an indisputable fact that the Rockets need a superstar. Many voices also said that Jaylen Green, who performed poorly in the playoffs, should be put into the trade as a bargaining chip to help the Rockets get a star player.

But there is also a different voice. Paul Pierce, the former Celtics' head core, suggested in a show that the Rockets should leave Jaylen Green and give him another chance. In the show, celebrity Paul Pierce talks about Jaylen Green. He said that if it were him, he would be willing to give Jaylen Green a chance to continue to stay in Space City, and the Rockets could continue to train him, he could become a star, and prove to everyone that he is talented.

Kobe also made three-pointers against the Jazz, and the Lakers did not give up on the young Kobe at that time. If Jaylen Green had that mentality, the Rockets would have made a profit.

So this NBA celebrity believes that Jaylen Green does have certain talents. Compared with Kobe and Jaylen Green, it is obvious that in Paul Pierce's eyes, Jaylen Green's talent does not seem to be worse than Kobe. And if the Lakers were a little lacking in patience back then, they might have given up Kobe, the top superstar.

Although Jaylen Green has played in the NBA for 4 seasons, this season is only his first time playing in the playoffs. If you only look at the regular season performance, then the young Jaylen Green has actually been improving for four years. His regular season scores have become more stable this season and have become the Rockets' scoring champion again. Jaylen Green's pass has been better, and his defense has improved much more than before.

So, Jaylen Green is still the target that the Rockets can focus on training. He is only 23 years old. The Rockets can give him more opportunities to continue to grow. If Jaylen Green still performs poorly in the playoffs next season, it will not be too late to send him away. If Jaylen Green is rashly given up now, if he becomes a top superstar in the future, the Rockets will probably regret it very much. Therefore, the Rockets can refer to Paul Pierce's suggestion.
