I think a) he does so much (energy, rebounding, etc) he will have a role (not necessarily starting) and b) he will likely improve as a shooter along the way.
Ben Simmons is an all-star and has zero jumpshot so I think there is a place for a guard who does that. Green is like a shorter, off-guard/wing, poor-man's Simmons in that he plays defense, can pass, brings energy, rebounds. I haven't seen Green do anything in the post, I don't know he has that in his bag. He does have a floater in mid-range shot. He obv needs to work a lot on his jumpshot.
