GAME 5 Playoffs 2024: Oklahoma City Thunder (2-2) vs. Dallas Mavericks (2-2)

[Winter]

My semi-annual reminder that our beloved Dorian Finney-Smith was the same age, 23, in his Rookie Season as our much maligned Josh Green is now. I remember at one time it was that Josh would never be a legit 3 point shooter. And he’s 40% and 38.5 last two years. Settle down people. Josh’s best basketball is still ahead of him. He’s still probably 4-5 years away from his prime.

If I read you right, you're comparing a rookie DFS to a Josh Green who has been playing in the NBA for 4 years without comparable movement. I'm not entirely sure that's worth remembering.

Josh Green is a decent rotation player, and I do expect he will be better in 4-5 years, but if his trend line is constant he'll only be a slightly better rotation player.
