Two quick examples:
1) JJB was one of the worst defenders in the whole NBA and eventually figured out how not to be a liability.
2) Ben Simmons was a poor defender coming out of college and has now developed into the best perimeter defender in the NBA IMO.
Shooting can be learned, defense can be learned. It just takes the right dedication and focus.
You can improve on team defense. One on one JJB was still a liability.
Also are we just arguing for the sake of arguing? Bottom line is Green is a 20 year old who even his detractors concede can defend. So why throw things on the wall as far as ball handling and finishing with the off hand if all you are looking for is a a 3D player? No one holds lack of offensive versatility against Wes or Bowen or Danny Green or other 3D types. He needs to become a consistent 3 pt shooter. Other things offensively are a bonus.
