Data analysis: Has Jaylen Green reached the upper limit of fans jokes Jordan Poole s level?

Recently, Jaylen Green's reputation fell to the bottom due to his poor performance in the playoffs. Some netizens joked that Jaylen Green changed from "upper limit Jordan lower limit Kobe" to "upper limit Jordan Poole lower limit Kobe White", but some netizens said that Jaylen Green's current level has not even reached Jordan Poole. In order to verify this proposition, today's star test will compare Jaylen Green's data with Jordan Poole in the same period to see what the differences are.

First I looked up how Jaylen Green's reputation was formed? The specific reason should be that Jaylen Green became famous very early. He became famous in California, USA when he was in his first year of high school in 2017. The recorded dunk video was quickly spread on the Internet. Many netizens and fans made this statement. Then, many media quoted this title in order to attract attention and exposure. In 2021, Green set the draft templates for NBA draft website Bradley Bill and Lavine, and the "upper limit Jordan Poole and Kobe White" was because Green performed worse than expected after entering the league, so Chinese netizens created it based on the extension of "upper and second quarters". Chinese netizens are very talented.

declared in advance that because the two of them are in a slightly different environment, different teammates, and different opponents, this horizontal comparison is not absolutely objective. This article has no intention of attracting battles. This is just a very topical horizontal comparison. I will try to list more data to seek comprehensiveness.

This year is Green's fourth season in the league. I quote Poole's data and is also the fourth season of his career, that is, the 2022-23 season. In the previous season, Poole relied on his outstanding performance to help the Golden State Warriors win the championship. He personally signed a four-year, $140 million contract as he wished. Many people regard him as the future of the Warriors and Curry's successor, but at the beginning of the season, Draymond Green beat Poole, and Poole's career trajectory changed drastically.

In terms of physical talent, Green did not participate in the draft physical test. His official height is 1.93 meters, weighs 84 kilograms, has an arm span of 2.02 meters, and has a standing height of 2.57 meters. The 96.3 cm bounce height in the 2023-24 season was the first bounce of the season. In fact, his running-up bounce height can definitely reach more than 1 meter, with lightning speed and explosive athletic ability help him become the second-tier show in the 2021 draft.

Pole participated in the 2019 draft physical test, with an official height of 1.93 meters, a weight of 88 kilograms, an arm span of 2 meters, a standing height of 2.52 meters, a maximum jump of 90 cm, and a shortcoming strength. He gave up the 84 kilogram bench press event. The draft pick was the 28th pick in the first round.

The two are not the same in terms of physical talent, but in terms of athletic ability, Green is far ahead. In terms of play, Greene's regular season scores accounted for 54% of the inside scores, 46% of the three-point line scores, 63% of the independent scores, and 37% of the assisted scores. He is a ball-holding scorer with balanced internal and external scores.

Pole's 2022-23 regular season scored 50%, 3-point line scored 50%, independent scored 45%, assisted scored 55%. He was a role player with balanced internal and external scores but assisted.

From the comparison, it can be seen that Poole's ball-holding ratio was nearly 20 percentage points lower than Green's current tactical status at that time, and his tactical status was far inferior to Green's.

Overall data

This season, Green played 82 games (all starters), averaged 33 minutes per game, averaged 17.5 shooting (including 8.1 three-point shooting), averaged 21 points, 3.4 assists, 4.6 rebounds, and 2.5 turnovers.

Pole played 82 games (43 starts and 39 substitutes), averaging 30 minutes per game, averaging 15.6 shots per game (including 7.8 three-point shots), averaging 20.4 points, 4.5 assists, 2.7 rebounds per game, and 3.1 turnovers.

From the overall comparison, it can be seen that both of them remained fully attending, Green is an absolute starter, while Poole is a half-main and half-substitute. Poole is not as good as Green in terms of playing time and shooting times, but in the end he handed out average data that was comparable to Green, which shows that Poole's efficiency is higher than him.

In detail, the first thing is to do is to break through skills

This season, Green has broken through 858 times with the ball in the regular season, ranked 14th in the league, and has 433 times with the attack box, ranking 14th in the league, with a shooting percentage of 202 goals, a shooting percentage of 46.7%, a breakthrough pass rate of 30%, a breakthrough assist rate of 5.7%, and a breakthrough error rate of 7.3%.

Pole broke through 695 times with the ball in the 2022-23 season and ranked 48th in the league, 322 times with the attack box, 40th in the league, with 160 shots hitting a 49% shooting percentage, 32% breakthrough pass rate, 8.6% breakthrough assist rate, and 8.5% breakthrough error rate.

From the comparison, it can be seen that Poole is not as many as Green in terms of breakthroughs, and his turnovers are slightly higher than Green. That is, the two of them make more mistakes than Green every 100 breakthroughs, but Poole is ahead of Green in terms of shooting percentage and assist rate of attacking frames and passing passes. It should be said that Poole's breakthrough is more efficient. In terms of shooting, Greene took 392 three-pointers and made 124 goals in the regular season, with only 31.6% shooting, which was a very poor level.

received the ball and made 269 three-pointers and hit 110 goals, with a 41% shooting percentage of the game being an excellent level.

made 247 shots in the middle distance and hit 85 goals, with a shooting percentage of only 34% being a very poor level.

336 free throws hits 273 goals, with a career high of 81%.

Poole scored 284 three-pointers in the 22-23 season, and his shooting percentage was only 30%, which was a very poor level.

received the ball and made 341 three-pointers and hit 124 goals, with a 36.4% shooting percentage of the ball is at the qualified level.

made 192 shots in the middle distance and hit 76 goals, with a 40% shooting percentage of the game being barely qualified.

made 415 free throws and hit 361 goals, with an excellent shooting percentage of 87%.

From the comparison, it can be seen that Green is better than Poole in terms of three-point shooting from the outside. The two have the same three-point shooting percentage, which is very inefficient, but Green is an excellent receiver shooter in terms of receiving and shooting. Poole is barely qualified. In terms of mid-range and free throws, Poole is better than Green. In terms of organization, Green plays point guards 27% of the time this season, with a total of 3,238 passes and 282 assists. The pass assist rate is 8.7% at a low level, and the assist error ratio is as high as 1.36. In addition, it can be seen from Green's breakthrough pass rate that he is not good at organizing offense. Uduka's requirement for him is to score points when he gets the ball.

Poole played point guard 64% of the time in the 22-23 season. He would undertake the organizational task of Curry's connection after leaving the court that season. He passed 3,425 passes and created 363 assists. His passing assist rate was 10.6% at the average level, and his assist-return ratio was as high as 1.45. It can be seen that Poole's organizational efficiency was not qualified during the season, which was only a little better than Green. In terms of defense, the regular season opponents averaged 11.3 shots in front of Greene, with an opponent shooting 5.3 goals per game, with an opponent's shooting percentage reaching 47%, and the opponent's shooting percentage increased by 1 percentage point in his defense.

The opponent averaged 9.8 shots in front of Poole in the 22-23 season, and his opponent's shooting percentage reached 47.1%. The opponent's shooting percentage increased by 1 percentage point on average under his defense.

The defensive efficiency of the two is basically the same, and neither is a defensive player.

Playoff performance

Green scored 6 games in seven playoffs this year, and his average score dropped sharply from 21 points in the regular season to 13.3 points in the playoffs. Other data are even more terrible. It is precisely because of his poor performance in the playoffs that his reputation plummeted.

Some people say that if Green reached Poole's level in the playoffs, the Rockets would have eliminated the Warriors long ago. This would have been possible if Poole had been in the 21-22 season, but it would have been impossible if Poole was in the 22-23 season. His playoff performance was also very poor, with his average score dropping from 20.4 points in the regular season to 10.3 points. It can even be said that he is better than Greenla. It is also because of his poor performance in the playoffs that the Warriors management is determined to trade him to the Washington Wizards.

Both have a tragic playoff memory.

The spiritual level

This is something that cannot be reflected by data. If you have seen two fans playing basketball, you should have experienced it. Poole is extroverted, super confident, dares to show himself, and dares to compete. Green is in a state of uncertainty. He is very passionate when he is in a hot state, but when he is in a low state, he will be very depressed and cannot see light in his eyes. His mental state in this playoffs has caused everyone to criticize him.

Finally, based on all the comparative data, Green still failed to reach the Poole level in the 22-23 season with a huge advantage in athletic talent and tactical position, and he did not reach the level of Poole in the 22-23 season. The fans' jokes about him were not achieved. Is he really that so?

Knowing shame is the beginning of awakening, and later courage is the action of breaking the deadlock. I hope that after this painful tempering, Green can completely awaken and practice hard. When talent and football skills are combined, beliefs become firm, and fighting spirit becomes strong, those suffering moments that hurt the soul will eventually turn into stars on the road of transformation.
