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.
Bey was probably the most popular pick here....he was not mine.
Tells you a lot in retrospect, our bitcoin GM and or GM for life have been in a public battle on that pick previously and it may turn out both were wrong with their decision. Pretty much sums up Cuban's front office.
