<p align="center"><font face="helvetica" color="#3366ff"><u><font size="5">"I'm More Than Just A Dunker" </font></u></font></p> </p> </p> </p> Gerald Green, whenever you hear those words you automactically think "dunking". But that's not all Gerald can do. As Gerald has stated numerous times, "I wanna be remembered as more than just a dunker in my career." Gerald started playing basketball his sophomore year in high school at Dobie High, where he got cut from his team. Repeating his junior year, Gerald surely transferred to Gulf Shores Academy, where he rose to stardom and was named 1st team All-American averaging 33 points, 12 rebounds, and 7 assists. Prior to the draft, Gerald drew comparisons to Tracy McGrady. When he's stock dropped from 6 to 18 in the 2005 NBA Draft, Gerald's T-Mac comparsions may have set him up for failure. </p> Glad to be in a great organization like the Boston Celtics, Gerald made a name for himself early as he had the infamous Summer League dunk everyone was talking about in 2005. During the season though, it seemed as though Gerald was beginning to hit his "rookie wall". Gerald saw absolutely no playing time during the first half of his rookie season. That being said, he was sent to the NBA Development League in January 2006. After a few stincts in the D-League, Gerald finally saw his first actual NBA game in Feburary against fellow friend Martell Webster. During that game, Gerald began his dunking onslaught with a furious one-hander to open up his season. Gerald soon enough, was the talk of ESPN and Highlight reels with gravity-defying plays. After a couple solid games in the end of his rookie year, Gerald was looking like a real promise for the future. In the summer, he spent his time working out in a camp with former NBA coach John Lucas (which he still does now). That paid dividens in the following year as people saw improvements in Gerald defense and 3 point shooting ability. In fact, in the first three months of the Gerald was top 3 in 3 point percentage. In Febuary 2007, Gerald won the Rising Stars Slam Dunk Contest by beating out former champ Nate Robinson. Gerald got a lot of bad talk after the dunk contest though and primarly thoughout the season about his inconsistency. Some of it being true, Gerald was a very inconsistent player in 2006-07. Some of it may be due to the fact of his immaturity of the game of basketball and some due to Doc's coaching techniques. What really ticked me off though guys, is the fact that Gerald is a terrible rebounder, he has all the natural gifts of being a good/great rebounder but he only will get you about 2.6 rebounds a game. Some may complain on his passing but I don't think that's fair, Gerald is not a passer, nor will he ever be. But he not as bad of a passer as some might say. I think most of it is due to his BB IQ and dribbling. His dribbling is horrid right now. Could be due to his missing right hand finger or due to his skill at that state of basketball. </p> Although, they are some positives for Gerald Green. Gerald is extremely good with the catch and shoot. He's probably more effective of the catch and off balance than stand still. Also, he moves off the ball fairly well, he knows how to get open using screens and what not. He can shoot over the top of anyone due to his athleticism and length. As all you know already he is considered one of the top 3 dunkers in this league already. And will get the crowd on their feet with a fast break opportunity. His three point shooting is very good and has tremendous range for a kid his age. He has got a great stroke and has no fear in finishing around the basket. He also has a desirable work ethic you can not question. If you tell him, you did this wrong, you need to correct this, he's on it. Working is something Gerald never ceases on doing. Until he goals are fulfilled, Gerald won't stop reaching for the stars. Who knows? Will Minnesota be his place. I don't know. We'll have to wait and see. But, I'm sure Gerald will do everything to keep the fans here in Minnesota happy and satisfied. </p>

He doesn't move too well without the ball... he rarely moves without the ball period. He avoids contact and admits it. He's not aggressive. I like Gerald and I wish him the best, but he has a WHOLE lot more negatives than positives. He's an athletic freak and he can shoot the ball... other than that, he really doesn't have anything else going for him. He does put in work, so hopefully he backs up his words to become the player we know he can be.</p> However, as we have discussed, I think Rashad McCants is a much more polished player than Green at this point, and that really isn't saying much. Gerald's great potential means nothing until he proves he's worthwhile. I hope both he and Telfair have successful years/careers.</p> </p>
He can't create shots for himself (unless he's dunking) and thats a problem if he wants to be a star in this league.</p> He has the potential and hopefully he does. I wish him and the wolves organization luck.</p>

He still has potential, sure, but he still has a way's to go before you can lable him a part of the core. You even just said that McCants is more polished, but "skill wise" you think Gerald is better? If by "skill wise" you mean being able to jump 45 inches, then sure... but other than that, I don't see what you mean. Gerald's second most valuable skill he has is his shot, and McCants has a pretty stroke as well, with just as much range, better form, and more body control. He's a better ball handler, he's stronger, he's physically and mentally tougher, and he has potential as well. I think McCants is being overlooked by a lot of people, not just you. I think he has a lot of talent, and that one knee injury kind of made everybody forget about him. As long as his knee is alright, he's only gonna get better. </p> </p>

He has a problem with his shot selection though. That's due to his inexperience with the game. I think he can create his own shot. He can shoot over the top of anybody. He's very good running off the catch and pulling up from 19. His shot won't get blocked too much in his career while he's shooting. With more time a believe Gerald will know where his shot is. </p> </p>

Green is clearly more talented than McCants. McCants averaged a total of 5 points to go with a rebound and an assist. And you say he's better than Gerald. You say that McCants will give you more,when he been through college and has tons of experience playing on a championship team, but than Gerald is averaging twice as him and being more productive and stay healthy? I don't think he has much potential if you ask me. His shot is as shaky and even worse than Green's. He's less effective than Gerald is. He shot a gross 27 percent from 3 last year, and 35 percent from the field and you say he has a "pretty stroke"? </p> </p>

Gerald lit Atlanta up two or three times this year, but that's not saying much. Look, he has a lot of talent, and he will have those nights where you say "wow, if he ever develops his skills and is able to do this on a consistent basis, look out!" But more often than not, Green displays complete lack of intellegence on the court and he doesn't have a single skill developed other than that natural stroke. He has a long way to go, and he will struggle to get big minutes right away in Minnesota as well. Hopefully I'm wrong, and he put in tons of work this summer and breaks out this year, but I wouldn't put money on it.</p> </p>

Here's an interesting stat I found out; Gerald given more than 30 minutes playing time averages 17.9 points a game. Now, I know what you're going to say, "Well, that makes no sense, the more you play the more you score." Well, I'm a strong believer that If Gerald got 30 minutes plus consistently last year well we had the injuries, he would of been less inconsistent. Then you're gonna say "Gerald was inconsistent because he was 21 and not ready for big time minutes." That's not true, Gerald inconsistency was not a problem last year (although for the exception of a few games), it was his rhythm. Had Doc played Gerald the same amount of minutes, we would have seen a more consistent Gerald Green.</p> </p>
