Mavs 121, Timberwolves 136

Fixed it for you (even though I have no dog in this fight).

That's absolutely a fair point. But if we're giving the coaching staff credit, if Green wasn't getting minutes doesn't that mean he hasn't been showing enough to deserve them?

I'm not going to try and read the minds of the coaching staff and instead just look at what Green did while he's on the court. He's extremely good at hustling, rebounding, and defensive stops. He makes instinctive passes on the offensive end when pressured. 

He's made 1-2 plays where he's shown some great touch around the rim too. But other than that he's not assertive on the offensive side of the floor. He largely sits in the corner and disappears. When the ball finds him he looks for a pass. He's a deer in the headlights when it comes to creating his own shot. And it seems like his release is too inconsistent to be a spot up shooter.

That needs to change if he wants to survive more than 3 years in the league and/or be a rotation player. 

In my mind Green went from being China fodder to maybe a rotation player over the season. That enough keeps me interested. But I think we'll be lucky if Green gets 20mpg next year.
