Rockets head coach on Jalen Green's 2023-24 NBA season

The Rockets may have missed the postseason this year, but that doesn't mean they didn't have some positives to look at. As the 2024 Playoffs started, the team's head coach, Ime Udoka, reflected on the season that Jalen Green has had.

This is the first season that Udoka has coached the team and he has already shown their potential. One of the players who blossomed under his system was Green. The 6-foot-4 guard made himself available all season long and played all 82 games.

His numbers went down slightly, as he averaged 19.6 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.5 assists. But that was because he had to share the ball with Fred VanVleet in the backcourt. Still, Green remained an effective backcourt mate, which Udoka praised after their campaign.

"For him, this is who you are. Although you had ups and downs, I loved the resiliency," Udoka said. "He played [all] 82 games. Played through injury, fatigue, frustration. Never complained, never wavered from the work he put in, and was rewarded with that towards the end of the season."
