My point was: I’m always leaning toward a rookie like Herb Jones who was meaningfully contributing to a decent team over someone putting up stats on a bad team. I think we were laughing during 80% of this.

Simmons later responded to this story on Twitter, calling it "ridiculous" and saying that he prefers a rookie on a decent team over someone putting up big numbers on a bad team. “I think that’s one of the best rookie classes we’ve had.” “I just didn’t think he was one of the five best rookies, but we also had an iconic rookie class,” Simmons said. Literally 100 seconds after proclaiming, “F-k Jalen Green,” Simmons retreated and said he was actually “Pro Jalen Green.” He put some stuff together at the end of the year. “He’s already shown enough touch that he’s not going to be a horrible shooter. “Jalen Green’s another guy who reminds me of Ant Edwards in the sense that he has all of the tools,” said Lambre, who tweeted that he was a believer in Green last week. Lambre compared Green to Timberwolves’ star Anthony Edwards, who finished second to LaMelo Ball in last year’s Rookie of the Year voting after averaging 19.3 points per game. Forget about the defense,” O’Connor said in response to Simmons’ rant. To be fair, The Ringer’s NBA writers Kevin O’Connor and Wosny Lambre defended Green on the podcast, although O'Connor also voted Jones over Green on his All-Rookie ballot. Still, Green, who is way behind Jones on the defensive end, is light years ahead of Jones with the ball in his hands. Jones has been a revelation on defense for the New Orleans Pelicans, who went 36-46 - a full 16 games better than the Rockets, who finished with the league's worst record - and face the Spurs in a play-in game Wednesday night. Jalen Green will get there, it’s just that team was 21-61 this year or whatever.” “Now, the Houston people are going to be mad at me. Herb Jones is like guarding dudes in real games. “I don’t care you’re scoring 40 points and your team’s 19-60. “F-k Jalen Green,” Simmons said with about 1:08:00 left in the episode. The case for Jones over Green was never more evident than on Wednesday’s episode of The Bill Simmons Podcast when the host, who has a vote in the NBA’s postseason awards, profanely explained why he picked Jones over Green on his All-Rookie team.
