Or 2 years and 5 months younger than Bane.
Terry is 1 month older than Green.
And that's why you don't judge rookies in their first year. Luka realy spoiled us.
This is a valid point. I have a different view: IMO its fine to judge the rookies by their first year, but it cant be used to predict future seasons accurately. This is a more proper middle ground.
If a rookie performs well, while another is not, in a given rookie season, it should definitely be taken into account. That S. Bey and Bane are playing well and contributing, right now, this absolutely needs to be taken into consideration. Their game is translating to the NBA. This season they are contributing to winning basketball, while other rookies are not. This is important point. This season now is important, as important as future seasons.
Even if in 5 years from now Josh Green becomes better, maybe. But the first years do matter. Every season matters equally.
At the moment, nothing indicates Green will develop more than S. Bey or Bane down the road. They might equally and as likely improve or even more than Green, making the gap even larger. Time will tell. But for this season it seems se should have tried to get Haliburton, S.Bey and Bane. All of them would absolutely contributed more than Green, and played more and better as well. Green has done a solid job, but does not show special skills.
