Re: Off season Rumors and Speculation
What I remember about Green is that he played Danny really well, Danny had to really give effort to try to get the better of Green. What happened, IIRC, Danny started playing really hard cuz Green was getting the better of him, then he drew some fouls on Green that slowed him down a bit, but honestly Green looked good, nice soft jumper, I know all the highlights are his dunks, but he has a really nice shot. He also is great sized and has the length to defend. I just think he's a great great pick up. If you didn't have the history to look at and had to evaluate Mayo and Green, I'd bet you'd take Green from a Basketball perspective, all things being equal.
Funny enough, I remember a similar impresson of Ian Miminmi, that he was super active, atheletic, and really had a prescence, out of control sometimes, but he was all over the place with his athleticism. Roy struggled with him until he got him to foul him, similar to the Granger thing above. I, too, was surprised his block numbers weren't higher. He's raw, but he has the tools to be a big who can really impact the game and he's 25, so ya I was surprised about the length and size of his contract, but if you can get him to 85% of his potential, he'll out earn it, big time, imo.
