Jalen Green, an explosive shooting guard back from a year with NBA G League Ignite, conceded an interview with Bleacher Report.
On the year spent in the G League, without going through College.
“I think it was a great experience overall. I have learned a lot, I have learned to be a professional. I was part of a professional environment. I improved my habits on and off the pitch. Both my teammates and I managed to improve our game. Overall it was a great experience. The veterans of the team have taken us under their wing, the two I have talked to the most are Jarrett Jack and Bobby Brown. Obviously I also learned a lot from coach Brian Shaw, I asked him a lot of questions about Kobe Bryant, Larry Bird and Shaq … “
On his prospects for the Draft.
“Everyone would like to be chosen in number 1, it would be a dream that becomes reality. I used it as a motivation, even more in the period when I was little considered due to the different path I chose. I feel like I should be the first overall pick, because I work harder than the other guys in the Draft Class. This is the only reason “.
Green played 15 games in the ‘Bubble’ G League, averaging 17.9 points, 4 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.5 steals, shooting 46% from the field, 36% from three and 83% on free throws.
