I am sure they talked themselves into the idea that Green was raw but had a higher ceiling offensively. What we have seen so far is a guy who is pretty good defensively as expected but is a total mess offensively and not usable on a good team. Bey on the other hand was ready to step in as a 3D guy right away. It's sad but Mavs probably wasted the pick.
That was my initial thought after the pick was made. They picked for positional need and prefered a SG/SF over a SF/PF. In hindsight that wasn´t the best decision. THJ and Richardson are both among the 6-7 best players on the roster and play the same position. Right now the Mavs could really use a bigger wing.
