What this shows is that Wright gets more minutes than Green but Green has shown in that the few minutes he gets, if he's a starter like he was at the beginning of the season or if he's playing garbage time minutes like he is now: he can flat out score.
This is a team that consistently has scoring droughts, Green has proving that he can score and yet he cant get any playing time. If Green is being benched for his defense, then why is that at times we play a 3 guard lineup? Is someone going to try to say that Green's defense would be worse than 5'10 Barea at SG? Wright is not a bad player but Green is a better finisher, better athlete, better rebounder, shooter and scorer than Wright. Gerald green is better than Antoine Wright.

Want to try again? Wright and Green are both shooting 30% from 3, Wright is shooting 2% less than Green but it easy to argue Green gets that number higher for the sole reason of who he is generally playing against. Green averages about 2 rebounds more per 48 minutes not a huge difference, while Wright has about a 1.5-1 assist/ TO ratio, Greene is .5/1, which shows his horrific decision making, Wright is a much much better defender as he almost always guards the teams best 1/2/3 scorer. Wright is a much better bball player than Green, it isn't even close.
