I've been watching a bunch of the G-League games and he's been very, very good. He was really good last year as well, and it's starting to get him noticed:



He always had clear NBA potential. Just wish he'd been born five years later and could've spent his time in Storrs under the current coach.

I'll always be rooting for Jalen.

Was just saying the other day that Boston could use him. What is there to lose with giving him some of Teague or Edwards’ minutes?

Brad loves Teague, so I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for him to be shown the door. I do think that both Edwards and Waters (who's on a two-way contract) will be gone after this season, and to be honest Jalen's a better fit than either b/c of his size and length.

Both of those guys have been significant net negatives on both sides of the ball in the NBA. Jalen has good size for a PG and could probably even defend up against some SGs because he's got a 6-foot-7 wingspan.

I would watch and root for any team that signs Jalen on League Pass for as long as they have him. Dude deserves a shot.

Another team that could use a scoring PG is the Orlando Magic, who once gave Rodney Purvis significant NBA minutes. Their guard rotation has been decimated with the injuries to Fultz and Cole Anthony. We all know Jalen Adams can hit big shots in that arena too...
 
his shot has matured. he’s def a solid nba backup guard )
 
Still only hitting 32% from 3. He could get a look, but NBA GMs aren't rushing to bring up guards making less than 35% from 3.
 
One of my favorite all time UConn players and definitely one of the more talented guards to have played here.. I would have LOVED to see him in the Calhoun or Hurley era.. really felt like he was done a disservice with the incompetence around him his last few years here

Can you give us a link on that? I just checked on this the other day and he was hitting 39%. Did he go 0 for 50 last few games?

Looks like he was 0-8 over the last 2 games, but tonight went 3-6.
 
He had an nba type game at UConn always felt he would get a chance and could stick as at least a back up. Hope he seizes the opportunity
 
At UConn he had a weak left hand and his handle needed work. I sincerely hope he is working on both. When I watched him I really didn't notice if they had improved.

That'll do it, especially when you only played 8 games before your 0 for 8.

Jalen showing some range! I think he definitely ends up getting a shot and it will be well deserved
 
Rooting for the guy. He could have done more with better coaching while in college and it looks like his game has finally begun to mature.
 
I don't get how Adams isn't on a two-way. Much better than Boston with Waters, Edwards. Edwards doesn't ever hit shots, and Waters is a gunner and small. Adams could be a Wannamker type presence for UConn and more solid than Teague, who is washed up.
