I think the Green tidbit is important. I compare him to Dwight Powell but with higher upside potential. Like Powell, teammates tend to like Green and he always play hard. I would like to find out if he is a hard worker, but I assume he is. Powell has always been considered one of the hardest workers on the team.
It sucks the 18th pick in a good draft is not playing for us. There is no getting around that. But I do think there is something there. Having players on the team that likes you is important for a younger player. Will he work out here? I have no idea. I could see him being a really nice piece on a deep team to being a guy who bounces around for 5-6 years and never puts it together.
I will say if he doesn't force some playing time by the end of this year that would not be a great sign.
