Uh, no.
You're looking at Jalen after a lot of miles on the tank. And you're looking at ammo with love in your eyes. I'll give ammo an edge in shooting, but Jalen has a high hoops IQ, desire, and leadership skills. And he doesn't cry on the court, either. They are both very clever scorers, who can shoot the trey, or mid-range, and have an vast arsenal of interior moves that allows them to get shots off in heavy traffic. Both are clutch. Neither have great athleticism, nor are they good defenders. And to compensate for not being quite as good a shooter, Jalen is a much better passer.
We'll see how being the big fish in a small pond translates to the NBA. But this kid is absolutely not the next Larry Bird.
