Why was Green a bad pick?
I'm just curious as to why people feel this way.
My feeling is he's a good player very active on defense and does a great job on offense in terms of moving without the ball.
I felt like when he was getting minutes doing the covid situation he actually got better game by game.
But IMO I just don't think RC gave him that much rope as a rookie. On most other rosters I think he would be getting 10-12 MPG every night.
I fully expect Green to turn out to be a solid NBA rotation player down the road.
As for KP, I just think it's a matter of him staying healthy and also the Mavs need to keep him engaged offensively early in games. He has a tendency to venture outside all game if the Mavs aren't calling set plays for him.
That Brooklyn game was more like a blue print as to how he should be used but I know because this a 3-point happy team we may not see KP utilized that way moving forward.
