Labels are often earned in the NBA, and unfortunately, Jalen Green has earned his "non-playmaker" label. Granted, he was never expected to make plays in Houston, so his role should be taken into account when labeling him.
However, even for a player of his archetype, Green did himself no favors in the playmaking department. He shot, shot, and shot again, as any facilitation fell by the wayside. Green has the potential to be a sensational scorer, but even the staunchest Rockets fans can't fool themselves into calling Green a complete offensive player. So the distribution part of his game — a big part of the game for someone with the ball in his hands so much — remains a huge question mark as he enters year five, and year one in the Valley.
