What does Jalen Green need to do to make “the leap”?

It’s colloquially known as making “The Leap”. What exactly is the leap? I’m not necessarily sure you can precisely define it, but I’ll try my best.

The leap in question is in regards to Jalen Green. Will he? Won’t he? How will Houston Rockets and other NBA fans know?

To me, you just know it when you see it.

It’s when a 24-year-old Dwyane Wade goes for 42 points in Game 3 of the NBA Finals to ignite a comeback from a 2-0 deficit. It’s when you see a 20-year-old Devin Booker go for 70 points, albeit in a loss, to become only the sixth player — at the time — in history to accomplish such a feat.
