THE GREEN MACHINE: The Subtle Emergence of Josh Green

[mvossman]

Fact of the matter is, he’s a career 35.8% 3 point shooter (not a fairly small sample size). Regressing to the mean is much more likely than continuing on the 2 year aberration (isn’t this the argument for Bertans to get back to what he was?). Especially if he’s coming off the bench where he has struggled in the past.

His catch and shoot and wide open shots have always been good percentages, and he gets more of those with Luka then he has in the past, so there is good reason to think he will shoot better than his career average with the Mavs.  I also think its important to mention that his raw 3 percentage is not the only factor that defines him as an offensive player.  The fact that he can get his shot off at will and with high volume has value in itself.  He is also not just a 3 point specialist as he takes plenty of 2 point shots.  He is a scorer that can space the floor and get you 15 a game.  If his 3% goes down a couple percent, it won't have that big an impact on his game.
