You’re obviously pretty bullish on Jalen’s development, and I know player comps can be a bad idea, but does he remind you of anybody? Stephen Silas: It’s funny because he kind of reminds you of Monta (Ellis, with whom Silas was close during his Warriors days). He can get to his midrange, and he can score that way. He’s super, super athletic. He’s fast with his first step. He’s bigger than Monta. And obviously when Monta was doing his thing, he wasn’t the 3-point shooter that Jalen is. But as far as doing it in an easy way and going fast and being hard to guard and averaging 20-plus (points) on a nightly basis, that’s (like Monta). … Jalen has All-Star potential, so I don’t want to diminish that by comparing him to Monta. But they just remind me of each other with how easy it was — like, 20 was easy for him. And it’s the same way for Jalen.
