Fresh off his impressive stint with Team Ignite in the NBA G League, Filipino-American star prospect Jalen Green shared on Instagram his cover photo for SLAM 231 Future Issue magazine for April and May 2021.
“blessing from the man above 🙏,” wrote Green.
The 19-year-old Green led Ignite in their first ever G League campaign, averaging 17.9 points, 4.1 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 15 elimination games.
Green saved his best game for last, exploding for a season-high 30 points on 11-of-20 shooting, along with 7 assists, 5 rebounds and 3 steals in the quarterfinals loss against the Raptors 905.
Green, a potential top pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, acknowledged prior to the start of the bubble season that the biggest benefit for him joining the G League is to experience the NBA style of play ahead of the college players.
“I think the biggest benefit here (G League) is you’re picking up NBA things ahead of time, before the college players pick up on them,” Green told ESPN’s Mike Schmitz during a film session in January.
“I think you’re just getting ahead of the game, and you’re learning how to be a professional,” he added.
With 16 G League games under his belt, the 6-foot-6 high-flying guard Green looks way ahead of the game and is primed to take off in the NBA come next season. – Rappler.com
