or his first three years of high school, Green played basketball for San Joaquin Memorial High School in Fresno. As a freshman, he was a full-time starter and averaged 18.1 points and nine rebounds per game. He earned MaxPreps Freshman All-American second team and CIF Central Section rookie of the year honors.
In his sophomore season, Green averaged 27.9 points and 7.7 rebounds per game, leading San Joaquin Memorial to a Central Section Division II title and the CIF Open Division playoffs. He was named MaxPreps National Sophomore of the Year and made the USA Today All-USA California second team
As a junior, Green averaged 30.1 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 3.6 assists per game for San Joaquin Memorial.[1] He won his second consecutive Central Division II championship. In the title game, Green surpassed the school career scoring record of 2,288 held by Roscoe Pondexter since 1971.[8
Green was named USA Today All-USA California player of the year and appeared on the All-USA second team and MaxPreps All-American second team.
For his senior season, he transferred to Prolific Prep in Napa, California.
Green averaged 31.5 points, 7.5 rebounds and five assists per game, leading his team to a 31–3 record. He was named Sports Illustrated All-American player of the year and to the MaxPreps All-American first team.[16][17] Green was selected to play in the McDonald’s All-American Game, the Jordan Brand Classic and the Nike Hoop Summit, but all three games were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic
Through 14 games, the G League Ignite’s top performer is Jalen Green, who is producing with athleticism, creation skills, and shot-making that suggest his scoring will translate.
His shooting has been the most eye-popping development, with Green shooting 35 percent from three on 6 attempts a game.
He naturally picks up a few easy baskets a game just by tapping into his explosive first step and bounce around the rim.
But at his age, Green’s ability to separate into balanced dribble jumpers—and make them at a solid rate—is what fuels the elite scoring potential NBA teams are after.
He isn’t the biggest shooting guard around at 6-5 with a lean frame of 172 PDS. Doesn’t possess great length to compensate. Only has a 6’8 wingspan which isn’t bad
He’s still prone to lazy decision-making and defensive lapses. Gambles for steals. Doesn’t always get over screens.
Jalen plays an iso-heavy style that isn’t always efficient. Relies heavily on his pull-up game, which can be streaky at times.
But these flaws aren’t alarming enough to offset the transition offense/slashing NBA teams can bank on and an advanced one-on-one game that looks as dangerous as any prospect’s in the draft.
