With all due respect, my point being was how the membership on this site was predicting great things about him. He had the whole package, athleticism, strength and a ready made NBA body. Green hasn't showed me much other than hustle. That could change sure, but I think they whiffed when they didn't take Bey. But it's probably good they didn't because Carlisle wouldn't play him, like he's doing to Green. Carlisle was notorious for not playing rookies even in Detroit. He didn't playTayShaun Prince. In comes Larry Brown, he put him in as a starter, and Prince turned into one of the best 3&D guys on the best defensive team in the league at the time.
