THE GREEN MACHINE: The Subtle Emergence of Josh Green

[SwisherPrice]

Green is looking like he could be a perfect player for a Luka-centric team and yet half the fanbase still doesn't like him    He will be 22 this season, still a long way to go in his development but you're already seeing what he can do when he's given minutes and not buried on the depth chart behind veterans. 

I understand the Powell comparisons because of their hustle but not in terms of their ceiling. Powell was the 45th pick with physical limitations (not the biggest/strongest).  Green was a Top-20 pick with all of the tools physically. The upside is still there. If at worse, Green becomes another DFS/Bullock then that's fine but he still has way more potential. That's what Kidd mentioned previously - he knows Green can just be a 3 and D player at the very least but just limiting him to that could be a waste of what he's capable of. As a 21-year old right now, there are things that Green has shown that we never see from experienced vets like DFS/Bullock. He already had a 10 assist game in his career. 

As they start to give him more minutes and involve him in the offense, I expect him to keep producing.
