Green is already setting franchise rookie records, and with his play could easily start setting league rookie records:
It's a small sample size, but the Jazz already hold the second-best net rating in the league (+14.1), based on their consistent offense (fourth, 113.4) and stalwart defense (fifth, 99.4). They look motivated and energized.
Mitchell (21.7 points per game) is leading five double-digit scorers, with two more putting up at least 8.0 points per game.
The most impressive wrinkle to the offense is Gobert scoring a career-high 18.7 points per game. That is +2.8 more points than his previous best of 15.9 from the 2018-2019 season. Utilizing Gobert on offense is going to be crucial to making teams pay when they go small and having a plan to combat that, unlike in the playoffs.
For the Rockets, it's all about the kids. Through four games Green is averaging 14.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game with Şengün coming off the bench with 7.3 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists and most impressive, 2.3 steals per game.
The Rockets found some terrific young building blocks but will run into a ready-made brick wall today.
