The model knows Houston guard Jalen Green is an explosive athlete who can jump out of the gym. Green has the ability to finish through contact but can consistently hit jumpers from the perimeter. The 2021 second-overall pick is a willing passer with solid court vision. Green averages 21.6 points, four rebounds, and four assists per game. In his last outing, he finished with 27 points, four rebounds, and seven assists.

The model also knows San Antonio forward Keldon Johnson is an all-around athletic wing in the frontcourt. Johnson has a quick first step and is great at finishing around the rim. The Kentucky product owns the size and length to give opposing players problems. The 23-year-old puts up 20.4 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 3.1 assists per game. He dropped 27 points and five boards in his last contest.
