One hidden effect of having a shot blocker now is you can be more aggressive guarding on the perimeter. Bless Josh Green’s heart, he would battle wings but good players could get to their spots and get good looks. More difficult when you have a shot blocker lurking in the lane.

WOW
Yeah he is a very active defender. Constantly pokes and prods. Feet always moving. I hadn't done practically any research on him prior to the pick, and right now I can see exactly why the Mavs targeted him. He tends to be a bit wild when players make their 1-2 dribble move. But his freakish athleticism lets him recover to contest the shot well enough.
