Personally I don't have any problem with Green. I don't believe he will ever realize all of his theoretic potential, but he is a decent player for his money. Has his ups and downs, but this is natural for players in his price range. I just react to opinions saying that we have a Luka problem with Green. I think Green is a proffessional and it is only on him to overcome his limitations. Especially as this is his fourth season already.

The one concern is his shooting. He is getting wide open looks. He is down to 34% from three. I think that is sustainable with everything else he is doing. But he is at 25% over the last 10 games. Needs to be a mid 30's shooter. Last night, the Knicks were giving him the three when doubling Kyrie.
I think he is the best defender Mavs had in the Luka years. By far.
