It isn’t that Josh lacks burst, it’s that he needs to learn to change speeds. Some of that is developing better handles. But it’s mostly the game slowing down for him, which it seemed to at times last year. I would like to see him receive more dribble handoffs and act as the screener. Overall, I’d like to see more variation in our offense wherein it’s small screening for small. We were too predictable last season. Josh as screener can roll, pop out for 3, drive or pass. Think of Maxi who can’t dribble drive and doesn’t have much floor vision. Grant Williams isn’t very vertical. Josh has great court vision and hops.
The other thing that players learn with time is defensive tendencies and how to find their “spots.” I’d like us to run set plays getting Green to his most efficient spots and have him work variations on that theme until he has a “go-to move.” This may take another couple years, as guys like Luka who can intuit how to manipulate the defender naturally are rare.
