I wouldn't say Green can replace DJJ atm. Isn't what most complain about with Green other than the screen navigation stuff his size? He can guard 1-3. DJJ easily guards 1-4 and has the athleticism to block a KD jumper at its apex which is like a top 1% no one ever does that to him type of thing. DJJ made some crazy blocks on long closeouts on 3 point shooters in this playoff run. He's another lob threat from the wing which is great for Luka. He's pretty unique. DJJ and Green are both below average at attacking closeouts and finishing in traffic. Green is not an above the rim player though and DJJ is one of the best at that. Luka gets DJJ tons of transition dunks. Green is good to have off the bench for sure but he's not good for every matchup. He's good against speed but not great against size. I think DJJ would stay here on a NT MLE deal over taking slightly more from another team. I think DJJ has proven himself as a shooter already enough that teams won't completely abandon him like a Giddey which is sufficient. DJJ still has room for development too, he's worth keeping.
