DFS was 24 at the end of his rookie year...Green is still 3 seasons away from that. If his career peak is DFS then I'd gladly take that but I think he has even more upside than that. He had a game with 10 assists earlier and now has a 10+ rebound game...out of players on this roster, I think only Luka and Brunson have done that
I am so glad he is getting playing time and playing well. It is the easiest way to see jumps in your game...when you actually get real playing time. I think he is a really good guy too who I believe works really hard. In some ways, he is following the Dwight Powell model. Play hard all the time, be a great teammate, limit the mental errors, and leave your ego at the door. Like young dwight, you can see the guys really like Josh. That is important.. I think Josh has higher upside than Dwight though.
My main concern is him being able to finish at the rim. I mentioned this a lot, but his athleticism doesn't match when he is going to score on a drive (outside of the flying fast break dunks). The last piece is being able to make a quick moves, get separation, and explode at the rim. I am actually more concerned about this part of his game than his shooting.
