THE GREEN MACHINE: The Subtle Emergence of Josh Green

[cow]

Agree on Green being a weird pick (probably impacted by our GM not even being in the room).  I don't really see Josh having a high ceiling.  Don't see him being a high level offensive creator, a primary playmaker or an elite defensive stopper.  His realistic ceiling is a low volume 3&D SG that can make plays in transition (something we don't do a lot of).  That's an MLE level player.  He has a decent chance to get there and it would probably be a better outcome than the average 18th pick, but there were better options out there that also made more sense.

Maybe I phrased that poorly but they went with the more athletic pick rather than the more skilled pick, hoping the skills would develop to go along with that athleticism for the higher ceiling.  Conversely, that type of pick also has a lower floor.
