Game 23: Dallas Mavericks (14-8) vs. Washington Wizards (2-17) | 6:00pm CST

[Chicagojk]

I’m not defending Green either, although I do like the kid. Instead, I’m taking a shot at all the Grimes love here. The two do not look significantly different by the numbers. They are the same age. Grimes may be better, and his current contract certainly is. But I’m not seeing a needle mover at this point. Hope, yes. See, no.

Grimes over Green passes the eye test for me.  we will see if it will continue.

IMO, he is a better man on man defender.   He is a more willing shooter while still shooting a solid percentage.    He finds way to find shots within the offense.  This was one of my knocks on Green.  I didn't want Green to be a top offensive option, but if you play 20-25 minutes you need to find scoring opportunities besides wide open threes.  The thing that has surprised me with Grimes lately is his play off the dribble.   He is better than Green at this.   Green is better passing off the drive, but he was so resistant to score that teams started playing him to pass.
