The Rockets’ young star Jalen Green expressed his excitement about the addition of veteran point guard Fred VanVleet to the team. Green praised VanVleet’s experience and winning mentality, highlighting the positive impact he will have on the entire roster.

“That’s super dope for the team, not just for me but for the whole team, to have a veteran point guard, a winning point guard, that we can learn from and set the tone for us,” Green shared his thoughts on VanVleet’s arrival, as reported by ClutchFans.

VanVleet, who signed with the Rockets after declining his player option, brings a wealth of experience and leadership to the team. Last season, he averaged 19.3 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 7.2 assists per game, showcasing his skills as a dynamic playmaker.

Green, the Rockets’ No. 2 pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, recognizes the value that VanVleet brings to the team both on and off the court. The young Rockets squad will benefit from learning from VanVleet’s winning mentality and his ability to set the tone for success.
