Recently, TNT famous vocalist Stephen A-Smith talked about the Houston Rockets again on a podcast. He talked about the Rockets falling as the second in the West in the first round. He said: "We all know that Jaylen Green has never proved his scorer. If he hadn't been in the double-digit game in 7 games, the Rockets might have entered the Western Conference Finals, and his performance is far from being He met the performance expected. "

He also said: "I'm not saying Jaylen Green has no talent or potential. The question is how long it will take him to prove that he can become the No. 2 scorer for a playoff team? When we talk about Kevin Durant, we all know that he can help the team wherever he goes."

Jaylen Green's first playoff journey, averaging 31.4 minutes per game, scoring 13.3 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 0.57 steals, 0.29 blocks, shooting percentage 37.2%, and 29.2% from three-point shooting percentage.

In fact, this is not the first time Stephen A-Smith criticized Jaylen Green. As early as April 29, he commented on Jaylen Green: "You must have known that this 23-year-old defender should leave Houston." On June 11, he said again: "Jaylen Green seems a little absent-minded in the playoffs. When the team needs him to score, he is not in double digits in four games, which makes People were surprised. You should know that the Rockets are a Western Conference strong team in the regular season. You should not panic in the playoffs. He is the face of this team. It is obvious that Jaylen Green is not ready for everything."

Recently, the Rockets have quoted Durant with Jaylen Green + No. 10 in 2025, but the Suns refused to take over Green's contract and hoped to pull into a third-party team for transactions. At present, the transaction negotiations between the two sides have reached a standstill, and the Suns are asking for more chips.

Green is practicing hard every day. He should hope to practice hard this summer to improve his skills and slap the media people in the face next season.
