Wright is a much better bball player than Green, it isn't even close.

Wrong, of course. How can you look at percentages and say Green is a worse shooter? He's had hardly any 3PT attempts this year. Last year, Green shot 39% from 3PT line (better than Dirk, Josh and JET this year). The year before that, on 250 attempts, Green shot 37%. Both solid shooting percentages. For his career, Green shoots 36%.
Best Wright has shot in a season? 32%. Career 3PT shooting? 29%.
Green is clearly the better shooter over Wright. Inside the arc, have you ever seen Wright make contested jumpers? Not often. Green can hit fadeaways, step-backs, and an assortment of other contested jumpers (although I sure wish he would stop taking those shots...he does shoots too low of a %).
I'd take Green over Wright any day on an open 3 pointer or an open jump shot.
