I wanted him at 18 as well, but it was not obvious. He was rated as a late first early second, and I don't think anybody thought he was going to be this good. I thought he would bring some quality shooting off the bench and might be good enough to be worth the MLE.
The guy we should be comparing Green to is Bey. Folks were excited he fell down to 18 and he got picked right after Green. He is a much better offensive player than Green, but a poor defender and 2 years older. I think Green is a better fit for this team and given that he is 2 years behind on development, that is not nearly as painful a comparison.
