THE GREEN MACHINE: The Subtle Emergence of Josh Green

[SwisherPrice]

Prediction: the Mavs (Kidd) will treat Green as this year's Christian Wood to try to tank his value.

As a fan of his from when he was drafted, I actually want him to go elsewhere so he can try to succeed on a different team with a bigger role. I don't think this team and system is the best use of his abilities, even though he could adapt and be useful in any role. But if you're not one of the lead guards or THJ, you're just supposed to spot up and wait for threes. I'd love to see Green actually get the ball and have screens set for him to do something off the dribble but when you're just standing in the corner in this offense, you won't be able to do much.

The wings or whatever you want to call them are just supposed to provide 3 and D. Just look at how low Green's usage rate was last season - the only players lower down there at the bottom were Bullock, DFS, Holiday, Pinson, Ntilikina - all had similar roles as Green in this offense whenever they were on the floor with the lead guards.




If you're willing to pay him a solid contract in the future then unleash him! Don't just waste his abilities by being another version of Bullock
