Question about Danny Green

Hello guys,

Spurs fan here. We've just signed Danny Green to be our backup SF while James Anderson recovers from a foot injury.

In 2009 he was among the good options for our 2nd round pick, but as you guys know we got Blair with our pick. We knew Danny was a pretty good defender (some guys called him mini-Bowen).

What you guys could say about his game? Why didn't he play well for the Cavs?

thx in advance

I think he did a few good things last year, but doesnt handle the ball very well and fell out of favor with the new staff because of that. I was one who really wanted Blair but didnt think Green would be a bust either.

He seems to play composed, which is nice. I think he has the tools to be a solid role player, maybe Pop can motivate him a little more than Brown/Scott.

Ugh. I was definitely not on the Danny Green bandwagon when he was here. He is slow, not athletic, slow release on his jumper, no handles. Did not like

I wish we would have kept him instead of Jawad, but thats not saying much.

Oh, yeah. Around last years trade deadline, there was a monster bandwagon. Some guys were like "They want JJ AND Danny Green!?!?" for Amare/Iggy/Bosh/Whoever. Fans who overvalued the potential of some of these young players are seeing the reality of who can play and who cant.

I'm a Danny Green fan. He is a good outside shooter, good team defender, knows how to play the game. He is solid in the right situation, which SA should be for him.

He was perfect on a team with Lebron because he knew how to play off the ball well. In a situation like SA with a post threat like Duncan, there should be a similar effect.

He will do fine with the Spurs... I can even surprise people if I play for Pop.
