Somehow the fans here are willing not only to keep Josh Green, but to give him a raise next season based on his potential. We think he's going to be better than Justin Anderson was during his best year (when he registered 6.2 points per game in Philly), based on .... eyeballing him I think. Not stats apparently.
OK. Just checking.
Stats are probably not the best way to assess 21 year old NBA player in his second season, but if you want stats, lets use something better than points per game. The best box score stat is BPM and the best advanced on/off stats are EPM and Lebron:
Justin Anderson EPM Lebron BPM
2016 -1.3 0.34 0.3
2017 -2.3 -1.45 -1.3
2018 -1.6 -1.90 -1.0
Josh Green
2021 -4.6 -1.68 -3.6
2022 -1.4 -1.28 -0.3
Based on this, Justin peaked his rookie season. The numbers for his remaining years are not any better. Josh had a rough rookie year, but in his second year he is at least as good as Justin has been his entire career. Considering Green's improvement from the beginning of this season to now (and his age and limited experience), it is very easy to project continued improvement for a while.
