THE GREEN MACHINE: The Subtle Emergence of Josh Green

[dirkfansince1998]

Those things are certainly true, he is an awful screen navigator but it's also true that he's played good defense lately.  It's funny because on paper he seems like he should be a POA defender and that's how we use him mostly but he's way better off ball just disrupting everything with his energy.  Screen navigation is a skill that can be taught which is why I'm still hoping we can hold onto Josh.

I think a lot of the issues are also about the (lack of) coaching. Especially when it comes to the pick and roll stuff. Mavs add one guy with a good defensive reputation after another (Williams, DJJ) and all of them are struggling in those situations.
