That, essentially, is the issue with him.
In order to move him, however, I feel pretty strongly that you need to replace him, and not by outright gifting a kid a role he hasn’t quite earned yet. Green has earned a role, for sure, but it’s a much different role than the one Hardaway has, and while Hardy’s skill set might actually be a solution to replacing Hardaway at some point, he’s not ready.
Do you feel Green could take on a higher share of threes? He can’t replicate it at Hardaways current numbers (I believe about 8 a game), but do you think Green could put up about 5 a game and be coached into taking a little more risk/contested shots with his offensive game?
