An explosive, score-first wing who lost most of the season to injury, playing just 32 games and never finding his rhythm — 17.8 points on a rough 51.6% true shooting with the threes (31%) and finishing badly off. The athleticism and 32% usage are still there, but he needs the efficiency to catch up to the volume.

Trajectory

2023-24 → 2025-26 · age 21 → 23
▬Steady

Jalen, at 23, was as productive as ever when he played, but managed only 32 games last season, so his value to a team dipped (3.0 → 1.6 wins).

Seasons from Basketball-Reference (2023-24 → 2025-26). Production is box plus-minus, a per-possession measure. Value is VORP-based wins, so it also counts games played. Contract value is what each season’s play would fetch on the open market. The dotted 2026-27 point is a forecast: his established level, a year older, assuming a normal season.
