We all know the Mavs usually pick a polished player, so yes the Josh Green pick was surprising.
IMHO, the thinking with Green is that at the very least, he'd a be a 3andD type who can play immediately, but the projection or at least the hope is -- he could be much more in due time. That's the only explanation I can think of where the Mavs went out of character and picked someone raw.
The "play immediately part" obviously has worked out, and the "more than a 3andD"player hasn't worked out either.
But he still young. He can figure it out still, but if I have to guess -- he'd figure it out wearing another uniform.
As I said many times, I don't want him traded, but he will be in the trading block if by December we still see the same Josh Green.
