It's so interesting that the we have such a wide range of opinions and expectations for Green. I wonder what's causing this...is it because he was drafted 18th? Is it because he's up for an extension? He's obviously not going to be a star player, but MOST players aren't stars.
I feel like all that's required is a full season of a consistent, 25 minute plus role and he'll prove to be a MUCH more valuable player than Bullock ever even dreamt of being. Why were we all so ok with HIS contract and now begrudging of a similar deal for a younger, more athletic, more versatile, better version? I think when Bullock had his shot going his impact on offense was a little underrated, but the idea that he was an impactful defender might be the biggest fraud ever forced on the Mavs' fan base. I loathed his defense and couldn't be happier that he's gone, personally. AND, Green shot the 3 ball well last year! I don't think he's as confident with the trigger as Bullock, and sure, that needs to improve, but just a month ago we had people excited to give this job to freaking Thybulle, who will NEVER be confident enough to do even what Green did on offense LAST YEAR. That's probably why he has lost his job for the national team, no?
I just don't get it. I'm not trying to shill for Green, but I feel like an unfair set of criteria is being applied to judge him, and by several really smart fans.
