THE GREEN MACHINE: The Subtle Emergence of Josh Green

[Scott41theMavs]

I agree with Dan’s thoughts on Green.

As far as McGee, he was not on my radar this summer and wasn’t crazy with the signing.  But I thought it was fine.  I thought it could work for the role they were looking for.  I didn’t expect him to be a starter though.  What he needs to do is very simple if he is going to be productive 15-20 minutes a night. One, he needs to play hard all the time.  Two, he needs to do the boring things really well.  He needs to make the correct locations, not get beat down the floor, secure rebounds when they are in his area, etc.  playing with Luka, he should get 3-5 easy baskets a game.  There weee a few so far where they appear a tad off.  Hopefully that will improve over time.  But it really won’t matter if he doesn’t play hard or master the boring parts of being a trusted veteran

When I have seen McGee play (well) against the Mavs in games since his last stint here, he played with energy and pride. I'm not seeing that buy-in at this point. Come on, dude, you got your buddy J-Kidd in your corner, and you get to play with Luka. Get your shit together.
