Why is PJ keeping Green on the pine for extended periods of time? He's only playing about 20 MPG, and his minutes have even dropped from November. I don't understand why. He's one of their better defenders, a real energizer, would help them on the glass, and he does a little bit of everything. Sure, "he does nothing great," but he does everything well and is surely ready to contribute. Damien Wilkins has come back down to earth, and Green needs to steal some of those minutes back. At some point this season, Jeff Green should not only be playing bigger minutes, but starting as well.
I've always believed Jeff Green isn't that good. He's always been overrated. He definitely stole that Big East POY award from Nichols, who was having a hell of a season; without a dominant big inside, too.
Agreed, Green has shown he's solid all-around.. I really don't get a lot of PJ's decisions really. If he's full-on rebuilding and wanting to develop his young guys, well.. Durant isn't the only one ;[ Unless Green is getting gassed really easily (which doesnt look like the case) then he should be playing every time KD is on the floor
He's quietly put up a pretty solid rookie season - just needs to have a bit more confidence offensively.
