NBA’s newest expansion team??

What would an NBA team full of nothing but players named Jalen (all variations) look like? There’s just enough players who played this season to make it an expansion team. 

Could this team win it all?

Head Coach 

Jalen Rose

Probably the reason the name is so popular today, gets the nod as head coach for the generation he produced.

Starters

Guard Jalen Brunson (Knicks)

28.7 Points 3.6 Rebounds 6.7 Assists

All-Star and All NBA player has led Knicks to 2 seed in the East while Randle has been out since January.

Guard Jalen Green (Rockets)

19.6 Points 5.2 Rebounds 3.5 Assists

Young emerging star guard who helped the young Rockets finish .500 for the first time since Harden left.

Forward Jaylen Brown (Celtics)

23 Points 5.5 Rebounds 3.6 Assists

All star swingman who is a sidekick to Jayson Tatum and helped Celtics to number one seed in east and most wins since The Big 3 were playing.

Forward Jalen Williams (Thunder)

19.1 Points 4 Rebounds 4.5 Assists

Arguably the second best player on the league’s best team in the west and youngest team overall.

Center Jalen Duren (Pistons)

13.8 Points 11.6 Rebounds 2.4 Assists

A double-double machine and bright spot for a disappointing Pistons team this year.
