Jalen Green is arguably the most athletic player in the 2021 NBA Draft

Jalen Green is one of my favorite draft prospects in this year’s draft for many reasons, but let’s talk about his athleticism first. Not many people know about Green since he decided to skip going to college and was one of the young talents that helped form Team Ignite in the G-League this year, but man can this kid play!

The 19-year-old guard is arguably the greatest athlete in this year’s draft class and with his ability to soar over opponents to the rim, he will see major minutes with any teams in this league right away.

It will be hard to keep this kid off of the court because of his ability to challenge literally anybody on the court. 

Green’s athleticism is the first thing that stands out on his pre-draft tape and is something that plenty of NBA scouts and executives are excited about. Jalen Green is going to be selected within the first few picks of the NBA Draft in large part because of how great of an athlete he is.

With the ability to play on or off-the-ball as well, Green has an advantage over other guards with similar builds to him in this draft class. None of them can jump “out of the building” like Jalen Green can, which is why he is one of the best prospects in this year’s draft class.
