Jeff Jesus
I’m fairly lukewarm toward Green, but we need to look at the comparison of what he’s replacing — he’s replacing Favors playing the 4 in the starting lineup. Favors was effective as the backup center but his value was negated by duplication with Gobert. Green’s shooting is fairly inconsistent but it’s like Jae’s numbers, and Jae provided a lot more spacing compared to Favors. However people want to argue about who is better between Jae and Derrick, we were better with Jae’s fit. So El Jefé gets Derricks first and third quarter minutes plus some other spot minutes and Ed Davis gets Derrick’s backup center minutes. So I think we did pretty good. Green is/should be relegated to catch and shoot only.
This really helps us out in two key ways (at least).
1. It allows Boggie to start at the 3, and have Jingles be our 6th man. Really where I wanted to Joe to be, and where he can be elite.
2. It continues to improve our shooting, and floor spacing. With Green out there, Boggie, and Conley we are in floor space heaven for DM!
They said we needed shooter, and we got them!
The spacing will be fun to watch. Green has always been streaky, but fun to watch. There's a little Rodney Hood inside him....
His poop has more consistency, too.Don't offend Green like that He is much better than Hood and has accomplished way more consistency
It simply must be exhausting being so negative.
Buck up, kiddo.
