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.
If Saddiq Bey is the next OPJ or Ariza I gladly say let him be. That´s a kind of player I don´t want to waste a pick on.
OPJ had one statistical very good season that got him a max-contract and has done nothing substancical since then.
Ariza is the most traded player for a reason. He is good in contract years and a disappointment anytime else.
I think Bey is a more useful player then them, but Green has a chance to be even better.
