Houston Rockets rookie Jalen Green was looking like the star that he is on his NBA Summer League debut on Sunday night against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The young Filipino-American was as good as advertised as he was absolutely on fire, leading the Rockets to a 84-76 win over a tough Cavs unit.
In his Rockets debut, Green put up 23 points on 4-of-9 shooting from deep and added five boards plus two dimes (via StatMuse). Light work for the 19-year old.
Here are some of the highlights from Green's incredible debut:

Whether he's knocking down three-point bombs in transition or attacking the defense, the NBA G League Ignite standout seems to be capable of doing it all out there on the court. From the get-go, you could see that Green was on a mission to lead the Rockets to a huge W as he put his head down and went to work. Green showed out and gave the young Cavs, including the third overall pick in Evan Mobley, a headache all evening long.
Plus, his step-game back seems to be on-point.
The California native was vocal about him being the best player in this year's loaded rookie class. He's a confident young man that appears to not just only talk the talk, but also walk it. Based on what we've all seen so far, the ceiling is limitless for a walking bucket like Green.
The Rockets absolutely got a steal in snagging Jalen Green at the two spot in the NBA Draft.
