THE GREEN MACHINE: The Subtle Emergence of Josh Green

[KillerLeft]

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.

Yes to both of the last questions, but...and I say this knowing you follow the team closely, so no disrespect, but I'm telling you, this dude as a rookie was expert level at making a layup 10x more difficult than it needed to be. It's just something we used to observe and discuss on the regular. I have no idea how to reconcile your point about percentages, but I've never been someone to let a stat talk me out of something I feel I learned from watching. I think both ways of learning are valid, but I trust my eyes, personally. 

Anyway, the moral of the story is whatever he has been doing with his practice time is paying off. I'd say his finishing has been GOOD lately, so no sense arguing about the past.
