We will just have to see how things go bc a lot of players like this come in raw and have to put in a lot of work to get better. DFS had the advantage of coming into a team that wasn't very good and just had to beat out Justin Anderson to get minutes. Even though DFS' 3 ball was bad he got better over time.
For Green we will see if he can slide into that type of role where he is a 3D guard. It could be a multi-year project. It's just sad because we could have gotten much more of a sure thing in Bey.
It's also like you get Iwundu off the street and he is sort of in the same spot but didn't cost anything. Iwundu is a very good defender so if he could figure out how to shoot average or better at 3 he could be a rotation player.
Gambling on good defender makes sense. If one of them figures out how to shoot the Mavs have another starting quality player. Liked the MKG signing for the same reason. Thing is that they missed out on guys that can already do both. Bey is a solid defender and good shooter. Bane is not a bad defender and an even better shooter.
Maybe Green´s athleticism gives him a higher ceiling but I just don´t see it. Bey looks like the next Ariza/OPJ. A legit starter on most teams (including the Mavs). A higher ceiling would mean that Green turns into a fringe allstar or at least an above average starter.
