Says a lot that both of our guys leading the draft had strong convictions on their players and they both likely missed of bypassing better talent.
Difficult to compare their roles. It seems like the Pistons want Bey to to be a primary creator. And they have given him the freedom to make mistakes. As long as they are tanking that isn´t a problem and it´s not like Bey hasn´t shown a lot of promise. Last season he had stretches where he scored 20+ on solid efficiency in 9-10 games in a row. But it can also lead to the development of bad tendencies. It´s easy to give a player the green light. A lot harder to take it away.
This season his shot has been off. But he added some stuff in the paint and had a lot of success with drives. Getting to the rim and drawing fouls.
56% TS from a player that creates nearly 70% of his 2-point attempts himself is something the Mavs would love to have. But on the other hand. The same can be said about Green´s energy and hustle combined with his super efficient shooting and finishing. Even if he cannot create for himself.
Green taking a step forwards has been huge for the Mavs. Really don´t want to imagine the season with Bullock and THJ playing like they are and last years version of Green.
