I do not think he is going to "become" anything. I think projecting him to be something more is just fool's gold. I think there's a much better chance that what we see now is closer to his ceiling rather some early development stage.
The guy flies around with a lot of energy, but mostly he's just reacting to what's happening. He can't initiate anything. He can't back down anyone, he can't take anyone off the dribble or post up. His court vision is nothing special. His defense is OK and his passing is pretty good. In truth, there are dozens like him in the NBA. Most of the comparable players like Green don't start unless it's a bad team.
I like that Kidd plays him a lot right now. That's good for a lot of reasons. I happen to like it because I suspect he's tradeable, and we will need some youth in any package trade this off-season. But if he's a starter on this team, then we have low expectations.
Yes, I know he's only 21.
Ok, that's my Josh Green post. I'll duck and cover now.
No need to duck and cover. If that's your opinion, I can respect that. I don't think he's anything special either. There are plenty of guys on teams that fit his DNA. But maybe he can develop into a decent role player down the road. Some of the same things were said about Justin Anderson, and how'd that work out?
