THE GREEN MACHINE: The Subtle Emergence of Josh Green

[Razzmatazz_Hopskidillydoo]

He took almost the same number of shots per minute as Bullock, DFS and Maxi last year. 

BTW, on a team where Wood and THJ jack up almost every ball they touch, I would think a willing passer would be valued.

Like it or not, there the expectations for Green were different. And for good reason. Most fans have this understanding that Green passes up shots because he isn't good at shooting, and once he fixes that, it's all going to be okay. In a way, fans have already moved on from last season and were looking forward to the supposed new and improved Green. His off-season training got people excited.

I guess that one play where Green made a cut to the basket that could have been an easy 2 did it for most fans. From what most fans saw -- Josh didn't look at the basket, or if he did, his mind was already made up on passing the ball rather than committing to a full pledged attack to the basket. The result was a turnover. That's a Ben Simmons level play that lingers in the heads of fans.

As for Wood. I don't see him as a chucker, even that 16 point straight didn't feel like chucking. THJ on the other hand....
