His first two years were basically nothing. I don't think I'm being unfair at all. If we had drafted Bane, Maxey, or Bey instead of Green, I think we'd be a LOT closer to a championship than we are now. And to say that he hasn't been what we hoped he would be is a massive understatement. Now we're only two games into year 3, but he hasn't shown much of anything yet, and if he doesn't show major improvement by year 3, the odds are very low that it will happen for him at all.
As for Bane "not do a whole bunch else aside from his offense..." In the NBA, who cares? Offense matters so much more than defense in today's NBA. The dude's averaging 20. He's a baller. Josh Green? Well.... I'm crossing my fingers hoping he might actually be a productive NBA players someday.
