Jazz Sign PG Eric Green

[kabenac]

Will Barton was always a high upside player, he was a top-10 HS recruit, now he's got a shot at being the 6th man of the year. Damian Lillard wasn't happy with Barton getting traded.

He's also the baby-whisperer:

Hokies up in here! I been wanting Green since he was in college and was happy when we darfted him.

Will Green ever be good enough to escape being known as the guy who was traded for Rudy Gobert?

He definitely passed the eye test in his limited minutes, which is more than can be said for a lot of 10-day contract players.

If Exum didn't blow out his knee and improved, along with Favors and Burks staying healthy, we could be sitting at 5th or 6th in the West.

This.
We might even be able to get the 4th seed

Ya his scoring prowess and shot looked legit, though take it with a grain of salt since it was big time garbage time. Still, his shot should translate.

He got beat badly on defense a couple times but it's not like burke or neto are shutting anybody down on that end.

He might be our best point point guard (it's obviously too early to conclude anything though) which is really sad.

Nice story about how Eric Green twice declined phone calls from the Jazz. Then his agent called him and said, "what are you doing, the Jazz are trying to call you, pick up their call."

He screens his calls, and didn't know the number.
He said he couldn't sleep and is excited to be here. Just FYI.

Green shot 47% FGs and 40% 3pt in college and scored 25 ppg. In the Dleague he's at 53% and 48% 3pt - 26 ppg. He can shoot it. I wonder how much of Green being a bust is simply a lack of legit opportunity for significant PT. Guys like him - shooters, scorers - sometimes just need extended PT and an chance to get in a rhythm.

Pretty amazing numbers for certain. He has to be better than neto right now

When you enter the league at an advanced age as he did, opportunities are few and far between.

Basically the same role that Ian Clark used to occupy. Definitely room for him for now, with Exum out for this season. . . doubt he's a long-term option, but it's worth taking a look at for 3 weeks or so.

You only sign a player to two 10-day contracts. After that you have to offer them a contract or not have them anymore. So we have a maximum of 20 days to work him out before deciding if he will spend his off-season training under the Jazz's wing.
