Fresh off an historic scoring run to end Jalen Green’s rookie season, which led to a spot on the NBA’s All-Rookie first team, executives around the league appear bullish on what the Houston Rockets guard can do for an encore in his second professional season.
As tabulated by HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto, Green ranked No. 5 when executives were asked to project their biggest breakout players entering the 2022-23 league year. The only players ranked higher than Green were Philadelphia’s Tyrese Maxey, Indiana’s Tyrese Haliburton, Minnesota’s Anthony Edwards and Orlando’s Franz Wagner.
