So I will just mention something not related to the win/loss. I think I am almost ready to move on from Josh Green. And that is saying a lot for me. I wasn't in favor of the pick but said he needed time and he has certain things he does that I like. But man, he got a good amount of junk time last night and did nothing on offense. Even Eugene comes in and can create for himself. I feel like the ball is a hot potato to Green. When he gets it, it is almost a race how soon he can get rid of it and run to the corner. When he does drive, a rare occasion, he never looks to score and looks to pass. In an awful game last night, I would liked to see him with the mindset that he is going to score and be aggressive instead of playing like he does. Maybe he doesn't have it in him, but he has been a rough watch so far.
He just can't play (Josh Green). Lacking natural basketball instincts. He is a highly passive player. Never takes control of the plays, always letting others take charge. Is always is in the "background" and puts the energy in rebounding and movement, but all that is without natural instinct for the game. Bane and Bey have those pure natural instincts. Its not about body and wing span, but about whether you understand and have natural feel for the game. Not saying Green and physical ability is not an advantage, but if you cant play, you just cant play. Green has the body for the NBA, yes, but I havent seen yet any natural feel for the game from him, and he has had plenty of opportunities.
I was impressed by the new guy (Omoruyi). Now, he has some instincts! Dont know his upside and would really like that we play him more. But its clear, that he has some basketball IQ. Need more time playing and see how good he is and could become. He really was playing and was focused and he took charge. He was not passive at all.
