Houston Rockets interior star Alperen Sengun is preparing for the next men's basketball European Cup in Turkey. While taking part in a TV show during preparation, he talked about the situation of Jalen Green, a backcourt star who left the Rockets this summer.

Shin Kyung said: Of course, this incident made me feel very sad. Jaylen Green is like my brother. He looks like a cool guy on the surface, and that's certainly true. But when you really understand his situation, you will find that he is still a very kind person and he is always helpful on and off the court. Some players will choose to deliberately pretend to be cool in front of their teammates, but Jaylen Green is definitely not such a player. Shin Kyung continued: I think Jaylen Green will become an important player after joining the Phoenix Suns. During this period, I often told him that I hope this transaction will make him more motivated. I know that there are many times when he chooses to compete with himself, which also affects his performance. I believe he will become more mature after this transaction, and he will not continue to compete with himself like before.

In the NBA regular season last season, Green maintained a full attendance in 82 games. During his 32.9 minutes of playing time, Green averaged 21 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 0.9 steals, and 0.3 blocks, and had 2.5 turnovers and 1.5 fouls. He shot 42.3% from the field, 35.4% from three-point shooting percentage and 81.3% from free throws. In the playoffs, Green played 7 games in total, with averaging 31.3 minutes per game, averaging 13.3 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 0.6 steals, and 0.3 blocks. He also had 1.4 turnovers and 0.9 fouls. His shooting percentage was 37.2%, his three-point shooting percentage was 29.5%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 66.7%.

In this summer's big deal involving Kevin Durant, Green was sent to the Suns by the Rockets as a trading lead. Green's performance last season was obviously unsatisfactory, especially in the playoffs, his performance was simply a disaster, which was also a key factor in the Rockets' elimination by the Golden State Warriors. It was also because of his performance that he had been in a mess and had not made substantial progress in recent seasons that the Rockets finally chose to send Green away. Shin Kyung is actually right. Green has excellent physical talent and athletic ability. If he can find the feeling of playing on the team, he will become a top star in the NBA. But Green's style of playing on the court is not smart, and even seems a little stubborn at some times, which directly hinders his development. I don’t know if Green can find his game state after leaving the Rockets.
