3 years agoWith the No. 2 pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, the Houston Rockets have selected Jalen Green, who spent the 2020-21 season playing in the G League for the Ignite team. Green should end up playing either the two or the three for Houston and gives the team an explosive perimeter threat who averaged 18.7 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game last year on 46.9 percent shooting. Green's a good finisher inside but needs to show he can improve as a shooter, as he shot 35.7 percent from three last season and needs to work on consistency. There are questions about his defense and decision-making, but Green gives Houston a great scoring threat. And because he played against G League competition last year, Green might be farther along than other rookies and should see plenty of minutes from day one. He'll be an intriguing upside fantasy pick whose ADP will likely settle in the middle rounds.--Justin Carter - RotoBaller
