Saludo si Indiana Pacers veteran center Myles Turner sa takbo ng career ni Fil-Am Jalen Green sa Houston Rockets.
Para kay Turner, iba si Green sa mga batang player na maingay ang pangalan pagpasok sa National Basketball Association dahil na-overhype sa social media bunga na rin ng kanilang “cutesy handles”.
“The one kid who I will say who had a lot of that hype, and I’m actually really impressed with how he’s handling it, is Jalen Green,” deklarasyon ni Turner sa Run Your Race podcast nitong Linggo. “Jalen Green came with a lot of that hype, bro, even before he got to the Ignite with that social media stuff. Watching him develop into the player he is right now … I have to give him a shoutout.”
Papasok na sa kanyang third NBA season si Green, No. 2 pick ng Houston noong 2021.
Siya ang leading scorer ng Rockets nitong 2022-23 sa isinumiteng 22.1 points per game.
Uumpisahan ni Green at Rockets ang 2023-24 season laban kay Turner at Pacers sa Oct. 10 (11 sa Manila).
