Before Wednesday’s contest against the Houston Rockets, Los Angeles Lakers’ coach Frank Vogel took a moment to praise Jalen Green. Vogel said from the way he shoots the ball from the perimeter to his explosiveness in the open court — he loves Green’s game. He believes Green is a star in the making.
Vogel’s analysis of Green during his pre-game press conference was the result of the first three regular-season meetings between the Lakers and the Rockets. Green averaged 18.6 points versus the Lakers, but Los Angeles held full control of the season series by leading 3-0.
