Jalen Westbrook??

The last 3 halves Jalen Adams has channeled his inner Westbrook and it's been fun to watch

The turnovers the first half yesterday were pretty Westbrook-Esque too

11 assists and 1 turnover today.

Jalen's last 3 halves reminded me of a hot-shooting Marcus Williams.

Not as explosive as Westbrook, but Adams is a player. Clearly this teams best player and should be the go to guy from here on out.

Jalen rising to the occasion the past 2 games eerily reminds me of mid-season Kemba his soph year (2010).

-Both similarly lead sophmore PGs
-Both on under-performing teams
-Both had/have 3 key seniors who we thought would lead the way, but couldn't/haven't (Dyson, Stix, Edwards -- Rodney, Facey, Brimah).

Kemba didn't emerge until halfway through the year, Jalen is emerging earlier out of necessity/injury.

Adams will be a FORCE next year.

Except jalen and bazz's playstyles share ZERO similarities besides being from roxbury

He still makes some bad decisions but I love his will to win. Last night after fouling out he looked like he was going to cry not being able to help on the floor.

I'm starting to feel bad for Jalen. Last year was disappointing. Suddenly all the talent around him this year is out for the year. He's going to have to wait until his junior year to play with other good players.

agreed. was talking more in terms of leadership and a reliable jump shot

Kid has so much energy and heart.

Jalen Adams had this play where he took it strong down the left side of lane then spun violently into the teeth of the defense and squeezed up a layup between two bigs that kind of backrimmed and came off, but it was close. Just the adventure of that drive made me laugh out loud like when I watch Kyrie Irving and Russell Westbrook.
I love that creativity and fearlessness!

Westbrook might be the best athlete in all pro sports right now I think Jalen could be comparable to Kemba. Very similar athletes, not great shooters, etc.

Not as explosive as Westbrook, but Adams is a player. Clearly this teams best player and should be the go to guy from here on out.
