How Rockets' Jalen Green already has Skip Bayless, national media taking notice
STAR POWER

Monday on Undisputed, Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe discuss Jalen Green's impressive summer league performance against the Cavs on Sunday. Green scored 23 points on 9-of-18 shooting, leading the Rockets to an 84-76 win. Bayless went on to say that he believes Jalen Green is making the statement that "Detroit made the wrong pick at No. 1, taking Cade Cunningham." Bayless also said he believes Green has the talent to lead the league in scoring at some point in his career, and Houston fans should be excited that basketball will be fun again in the near future.
With only one summer league game in the books, we don't want to make too big a deal out of one game. But Rockets fans have to love what they're seeing from the No. 2 pick so far. As far as Green being the better pick than Cade Cunningham, we'll have to wait before we make that assessment. However, Green and Cunningham will play each other this Tuesday when the Rockets take on the Pistons at 8pm on ESPN.

How the Jose Abreu conundrum appears to be the hill Astros are willing to die on
Apr 18, 2024, 11:20 am
Coming into the season, one of the areas of the club the Astros were hoping would improve was the play at first base. Jose Abreu finished the 2023 regular season with the ninth-worst OPS in baseball among qualified players.
However, he did play well in the postseason. So fans were holding out hope we would see that version of Abreu in 2024.
Unfortunately, Abreu has done little to make people believe he'll be any better this season.
And the Astros appear to be in denial about the reality of the situation with this continued nonsense about the back of his baseball card. Manager Joe Espada brought this up once again after the Astros were swept by the Braves.
If we're going to keep talking about baseball cards, then we have to accept this. The back of his card also shows how bad he was in 2023, and his age.
To be clear, we don't have any issue with the Astros having their player's backs. But this baseball card stuff has to stop. It's insulting to the fans. There are other ways to discuss a slumping player.
Be sure to watch the video above as ESPN Houston's John Granato and Lance Zierlein react to the Abreu situation.
