THE GREEN MACHINE: The Subtle Emergence of Josh Green

[mvossman]

Green is a connector.
It's in his nature.

IMHO, Green's progress depends on Kidd.
If Kidd does not design plays for him, he'd get lost on the Luka-Kyrie show.
Josh looks like a capable option on offense, and I'd trust him to score more efficiently than GW and of course THJ.
But if Kidd doesn't establish Green as option 3 or 4 in offense, I'm going to bet he'd just hover around 10 points per game for the season.
Not really bad, considering he helps in other ways -- but it's like firing just 2 bullets off your side pistol and using your knife the rest of the way.

I'm not sure Green will be any more efficient than Williams.  They seem very similar in that regard.  I think Green probably spiked a little bet this last season.  I would take the under on his TS next season compared to last.  

Grant and Green may be more efficient than Timmy, but Timmy is still more valuable offensively because he pulls the trigger.  Focusing just on the three, its much more valuable to have a player pull the trigger (Tim is roughly 12 3 attempts per 100 pos) and shoot high 30s than it is for a player to shoot less often (Josh is 5.5 and Grant is 7) and a little higher efficiency (40 percent).

I don't know that Green needs offense run through him, he just needs to pull the trigger when its there.
