Jalen Green is a rising young talent who is expected to be drafted to the NBA in 2021.
After graduating high school in California, Green had a big decision to make.
Jalen Green was born in California on February 9, 2002.
By the time Green was in sixth grade, he was playing basketball for the Amateur Athletic Union and practicing for five hours every day.
Green was a starter for San Joaquin Memorial School from the time he was a freshman.
His coach Brad Roznovsky spoke to the New York Post about Green saying “Jay wants to be great… he just wants to be Jalen Green. Jay wants to build his own legacy.”
Before senior year, he transferred to Prolific Prep Academy where he was named Sports Illustrated All-American Player of the Year.
When it was time to start thinking about college, Green received 18 collegiate offers from different institutions.
He was a consensus five-star recruit and the best shooting guard in the 2020 class, according to ESPN.
However, he decided to turn away all 18 offers and instead enter the NBA minor league, the G league.
Green’s mom Bree Purganan spoke about the difficult decision saying “I think it was driving him crazy. It was like, ‘Okay, I need to make a decision.”
“There was no more talking about it. It was ‘I’m going here and that was it.’”
Green is expected to be number two in the NBA draft in July 2021 behind Cade Cunningham.
While he has not been drafted yet, he has already signed a multi-year deal with Adidas.
One of his first initiatives after earning the money was renovating the local park in his neighborhood.
According to Celeb Net Worth, Green is worth around $1 million.
His salary entering the G league was $500,000.
Once an NBA team drafts Green as a rookie, his salary and net worth are sure to rise exponentially.
