I posted that quote about Bey. Although if I am honest, I did not have Bey at the top of my wish list for 18. I had Maxey first and Precious second. Bey was in the group of tier two guys for me. Maxey and Precious had hot starts but their playing time has diminished as the season went along.
I didn't post the Bey quote to say Green was a mistake either. That will be figured out in time. Bey has been playing really well, but he was always going to be further advanced than Green at this stage. Green is more of a developmental project. Bey may have more upside in the long run, but I think it is important to give Green some time. If Green does not earn a spot next year in some kind of regular playing time, I think it will be a disappointing sign for me. For me I am less concerned about his shooting (although this may take a few years for the pro three), I am more worried about his finishing in the lane. In the little we have seen Green, he appears to be a good teammate, plays hard, and has a decent feel for the game. Those are positive signs, but in no way a certainty that he will make it as a very good NBA player.
