Years ago we traded Justin Anderson at this exact same time in a package deal along with Bogut. He was drafted about the same time as Green (21st). His stats were never much better than that year we traded him. He had a slightly better year in Philly shortly after, but even they traded him after one season. As a side note, he's still in the league and plays for Rick Carlisile.
But I think Anderson is a reasonable comparison. Anderson is still a serviceable player. But his best value was in a trade. He's at the end of the bench now, but when he was with Dallas he had a few nice games.
I think it would be a better comp if Justin was 3 years younger when he was drafted. That makes a big difference. There is a lot more potential growth from a 20 year old with one year of college vs a 23 year old with 3 years. Especially when the younger one seems to have a higher BBIQ to start with.
