THE GREEN MACHINE: The Subtle Emergence of Josh Green

[F Gump]

Isn’t that exactly what Bullock does?  It is pretty much all Dorian does also.  .

No. And not even close to true.

Not at all the same, and not even close to my 3-game observation. Neither DFS nor RB turn down open shots, neither refuse to try layups when open in the lane. Both play a role in the offense by spacing the floor, and being a threat who WILL SHOOT when left open and they get the ball. Both will attack the basket when open with the ball and past the defender. Green's Simmon's-like refusal to shoot the open shot is what has been rendering him worthless in half the game.

I will say that JG's G4 was much better. But it alone doesn't erase what we saw in Gs 1-3, and it was acceptable but not great. His level of willingness to shoot, and work to score, in G4, must be the floor not the ceiling of his play.
