THE GREEN MACHINE: The Subtle Emergence of Josh Green

[mvossman]

His entire career has been "small sample" when you're talking about shots at the rim. 

Anyone who analyzed him pre-draft (we had an outstanding thread that summer - the best ever, probs) or watched him play the first couple of years likely noticed he had a knack for turning surefire dunks into ridiculously difficult "touch" layups. 

It was such a glaring deficiency that we discussed so frequently that I had a bit going for a while wherein I'd tag @"Kammrath" with "Green made a layup!" every time he scored one.

I mean, his entire career has been somewhat small sample given how little he shoots, but he has taken well over 1/3 of his shots at the rim.  If he makes shots more difficult than they should be, I would think that would be reflected in his percentage at the rim?  Maybe he gets a higher percentage of uncontested shots at the rim because they are generally transition?  Maybe his biggest issue is passing away from shots at the rim?  Just curious.
