This doesn't scream the type of guy we're looking to immediately trade, it looks like they're hoping he's a ready to go defensive option right now. If he can shoot 3s at a passable clip he might stick
Ya that's really the thing that will determine whether he's an NBA player. I thought Justin Anderson's defense wasn't amazing when he was out there. I bet we are impressed with Green's defense off the bat. He will not have to dribble the ball or play-make or any of that stuff. This type of player just needs to hit a 3 pointer and if he does he will have a long NBA career, and if he can't he will be gone in a few years.
I never really understood why Anderson was supposed to be a great defensive player. At 6'6" 230 he he was too big and bulky to defend smaller guys on ball, and too small to guard taller forwards on the close out. If you talk about just classic perimeter wing defenders Iggy is like 215. Bruce Bowen was like 190 lbs.
Yup I think Green has a better body type for sure. I like his fit on the defensive end. He needs to shoot thousands of 3s a day in the gym.
