The Houston Rockets will resume play Friday when they travel to Orlando to begin the last stretch of their 2021-22 season. With the playoffs effectively out of reach in a rebuilding year, most fans are primarily focused on the No. 2 overall pick of the 2021 NBA draft, Jalen Green.
Over the last 10 games before the All-Star break, Green averaged 15.9 points while shooting 43.6% from the field and 37.7% on 3-pointers, and he scored in double figures in all of those games. The numbers are even better in Green’s eight February games, with the 20-year-old shooting 46.4% overall and 41.2% on 3-pointers for the month.
Those are some very efficient numbers by Houston’s top rookie compared to the shooting slump he was in the previous three games — where he scored a combined 17 points and 6-of-40 from the field, including a game at Golden State where he missed all 11 shots that he attempted.
