Why is Jeff Green looking playable as a 5 in Houston?

NAOS said:
I agree that these numbers aren’t sustainable.

But I’d also note that our offense has proven to be well above league average in generating wide open looks from 3, so your Harden and Westbrook comment doesn’t hold much water for me.

No? Here's his debut. Watch his defender who is more concerned with Westbrook than Green (0:37)



You'll see it happen more frequently in this video:

I agree, watched the Rockets against Milwaukee another day and when Westbrook or Harden drove the defense was leaving him completely wide open again and again.

I’m not saying it holds NO water. Just saying it doesn’t hold much. He had plenty of open looks with Utah. The main problem with him and Utah was defense—as previously stated.

I expect his shooting numbers to regress to much nearer to career averages—and yet I think he’ll remain playable in their system because of the capabilities and coherence of their perimeter defenders.
 
Perhaps could it be that Quin and DL have a toxic work environment? Things are not all peechy keen when you are down by 40 to a team at the half which the Jazz were.

I think Quin over complicates things at times. I think DL has had his fair share of blunders. Not sure I’d count this as one. If Bojan was healthy and if Niang wasn’t shooting 5% from three this really wouldn’t even have been brought up.

Nah, I woulda brought it up in that scenario, too. I don’t miss Green, but I think his lack of fit can tell us a little something.
 
Partly because Houston only plays switching and the system is easier for someone to just plug in offensively.
 
Burks so far today (game is ongoing) 27 minutes, 8-15 from the field, 3-7 from three, 22 points and a +9
 
Some players if they are not happy it affects their game. He is clearly found a groove in Houston and buys into everything.

I’m doing some research on behalf of JFC and I have two questions for you. Let me state at the outset that I’m doing this pro bono; this is straight out of the goodness of my heart. I appreciate your honesty. I think we all need to get to the bottom of something.

1. With regard to Alec Burks, do you believe, or have you ever believed, that he could be a ‘Point God’?

2. Do you have a side hustle that entails watching videos of, and digesting scouting reports on, 12 to 15-year old boys?

No and no.
