THE GREEN MACHINE: The Subtle Emergence of Josh Green

[Chicagojk]

Yeah Josh Green is one of my important swing players for this team next year. He made some really nice improvements this year. He did hit a wall later in the season but finished the last few games strong. It is too bad we did not see how he handled a playoff atmosphere this year. It would have great to give him playoff reps.

So what is he moving forward? If this is what he is, then he is a solid good minute bench player who is probably a 10-12 million dollar player. 25 minutes range. If he has another jump in his game, then we really have something and SF may not be a area we need to use our good assets to fill. I have used Mikal Bridges as an example in the past. I don't think Green has the latest jump that Bridges did this past year. But can he get to the Bridges of two years ago? 14-15 points, good defense, smart player, good teammate??? That is a player that everyone wants. Bridges is 4 years older than Green. Lets see if Green can keep bumping up his level of play or if this is what he is.
