LAKE BUENA VISTA, FLORIDA – FEBRUARY 18: Jalen Green #4 of the G League Ignite brings the ball up the floor during a G-League game against the Westchester Knicks at AdventHealth Arena at ESPN Wide World Of Sports Complex on February 18, 2021 in Lake Buena Vista, Florida.
For the first time in over 7 seasons, the Toronto Raptors missed the playoffs, giving draft lottery night a whole new meaning for Raptors fans.
4 selection has Toronto sitting pretty, allowing them to sit back and select whoever remains of the consensus top four.
What makes him stand out as a prospect is that the flaws in his game can be easily fixed with good coaching and experience.
Since joining Gregg Popovich, he has made playmaking one of his strengths and has become one of the better point-forwards in the league.
While Cunningham, Mobley, and Suggs might be better on Day 1, Green’s ceiling could have him as the best player in the draft when it’s all said and done.
Green showed promise in his one season in the G-League where he solidified himself as a top 5 pick in the upcoming draft.
Entering the NBA, Green might be better prepared than most think because of the tough competition he faced.
