He just needs to keep working on that Jumper.

For the record, since it's been debated lately, right now:
Wright > Green

Anybody that says Green > Wright does not really know the game of basketball.

I think people were probably saying Green's potential >>> Wright's potential, no doubt right now Wright is the better player.

You talk like Wright is this All World player. He is what he is. He's not a starter in this league and never will be. Green however has the potential to be. Atleast he should get the chance anyway. Wright would be a great guy to have come off the bench probably a part of your 8 man rotation but that's about it.

I wouldn't even start Green on my NBDL team.

Then you're an idiot?

Green has proven he can score on the drive, from the jumper and behind the arc. Anyone who can do all three of those things and play marginally okay defense and has decent decision making should be able to play in the NBA. Green has marginally okay defense (with room to improve) and has decent decision making (again, with room to improve).

I firmly believe Wright is a better player RIGHT NOW than Green. Wright has the potential, imo, to be a 5th starter or 6th or 7th man off the bench...nothing more.

Green has the chance of becoming a LeBron-like player. Not the next LeBron, but an extremely atheletic player who dunks like crazy, has an outside game and has the potential to become a very good shot blocker and defender.

That's why Dallas is his fourth team in 2 years. nice.

This 2nd unit has saved the Mavs so far.

So, are you saying you haven't like what you've seen from Green on the offensive side of the ball this year?

What? What made you come to the conclusion? We haven't seen him even on the floor this season and when he has been he's showing his potential. Wow.

JET is getting his hands on the ball everytime Ben Gordon has it. I remember last time the two met Gordon made JET his bitch. JET's not having it this game.
