It took years for DFS to get to the point he’s at, and he’s still not exactly where we should want him to be. I hope he catches on very quickly, but I’m not building an offseason plan based on that hope unless I have to based on what we do land.
...yes, that's clear. I don't agree with it, but it's clear.
Yes, Green needing an improved shot does indicate that he has something in common with a lot of the folks to which you're referring. But, what I'M saying is that I believe he has OTHER skills (on OFFENSE) that most of them don't.
Fully agree with the point about shot evolution not being a given. No argument, and that's a necessary evolution, too, or this is all just a stupid internet conversation.
But, he's got more to his offensive game RIGHT NOW than DFS does (minus shooting), and he shows instincts, both with the ball and without, that are MILES ahead of where Richardson is, and even a little ahead of where THJ is, in some ways.
My initial reaction to the comparison of Green to Justin Anderson is to snort with derision, but as I said earlier, I don't remember all that much about Anderson. I'll stop short on doubling down on that, but I WILL say that Green is not a "defense only" player, and I mean right now, today.
