Had it not been for all those ridiculous turnovers

Future really is bright but there will be growing pains without Alterique

He was backed against the wall and then some.

We know he's a mercurial talent. Just want it to translate to 40 minutes every game.

Maybe call it his "coming out half". What a fighter. That step back three between the legs was money

This is Jalen Adams coming out game. He realized he is a scorer not a pg. I want him shooting more and passing less, especially to our bigs. He can get buckets and in a hurry.

I was really down on him early on but for him to have a short memory and come out balling in the second half is really telling. This kid has "it". We HAVE to build on this.

Good thing is he probably won't have that bad of a first half again, and the bad thing is he probably won't half this good of a 2nd half again.

However the good will outweigh the bad. So we are looking good going forward.

He seems to play better when he's stuck into a corner. Let's hope he can find a way to channel that energy for a full 40

Guys I watched Jalen's Ball is Life 2.0 mixtape during halftime. It clearly worked.

Hopefully this gives him confidence and it shows him what he is capable of when he plays his heart out. Not to mention with 3 of our top players out with injuries.

Thank you Jalen! You have given us hope that the future is bright!

Tonight made me hopeful that he will pick up from where he left off at the end of last season.

With no Gilbert and a questionable Larrier, Jalen is our only option to carry the team.

The follow through on his jumped looked pure. That's a good sign.

Need to watch a replay, but seemed like we used less pick and roll and more just "Adams go by your guy" in the 2nd half. Removes the decision-making and bigs catching the ball potential.

His passing sure looked a helluva lot better when it was his 2nd option, i.e. kicking out off a drive. Most of his turnovers were from tentatively initiating the offense and forcing passes around the perimeter.
