How, despite exciting steps forward, Houston Rockets still hindered by previous regime
ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT
21 November 2023
The Houston Rockets dropped their third straight game on Monday night, losing to the Golden State Warriors, 121-116. And the big story from the game was Jalen Green being benched in the fourth quarter.
Which brings up a big picture question about Green moving forward. Should the Rockets consider trading him, or just ride it out?
It's hard to believe, but Jalen Green is actually younger than Texans rookie QB CJ Stroud. At 21 years old, Green still has plenty of time to take the next big step, and trading him when his value is down doesn't make a ton of sense.
Plus, how much blame does Stephen Silas deserve for Green's lack of development?
And will Green respond to Ime Udoka benching him in a positive fashion like Jabari Smith?
