    His injury was 7 years ago but here he is, starting for a contender. Analysis of his game?

    Old, slow, and no longer a good shooter.

    He can't shoot, he can somewhat play defense.

    Nope. Matthews starts even when Middleton plays. He's started all 8 games of the playoffs. Their lineup is Jrue/Wes/Giannis/Middleton/Lopez.

    Wes is a competitor and a smart veteran.
    They know what he brings and he will consistently make plays.
    He’s a great bench player that is stepping up when they need him. Happy for his success!
    Wish him all the best! Next man up!

    How many teams has Danny Green played for and how many has he ended up starting for?

    He hasn't been a bench player though. He's been a starter most of the season and all of the playoffs.

    14 starts is not most of the season.

    my bad. But he's still started the entire playoffs. So they consider him their best SG to go to war with.

    The statement i made was not an argument against your OP. It was simply my opinion on it. I like what Wes brings.

    He is fine to have on your bench, but he did not look very good. He is still useless at attacking the basket. But he does pick up the occasional charge and hit the occasional 3.

    Milwaukee needs better players around Giannis then Wes.
