DFS has ourperformed eveyrone drafted after him, Green hasnt sniffed it. Thats called Mamba mentality. DFS has some of it, Josh has zero. Thats why he didnt play a lick for the Australian team in the last Olympics, even that coach knew he wasnt worthy of getting minutes over non NBA players.
Oh boy, never thought I'd read the words DFS and mamba in the same sentence.
If DFS is a Kobe-esque hard worker, then why has he been essentially the exact same player for the past four seasons?
What's he been working on?
You're elevating him based on going to the WCF last year as if he was the primary reason that happened. But let's be real, he wasnt even a top 3 guy in that run.
He wasn't freaking Kobe of 00 like you're making it seem.
Outperforming rock bottom expectations that come with your low draft position isn't super impressive. Also, I'm not sure why you're giving a guy credit for coming into to league with such low expectations, but I digress.
What does it matter anyway?
Fact is their value isnt based on where they were drafted. Players are valued by their current level of production and future upside - and greens current production is comparable to DFS while being 7 years younger.
Maybe if DFS had been working on his game these past 4 years like a real mamba we wouldn't be comparing him to 'bums' like Green.
We can end things here. You clearly cant appreciate what DFS has contributed to this team for years because u have the mindset many fans do, what have u done for me lately? Thats the cancel culture world we live in unfortunatley
And I'll never come around on Green. He was one of the worst rookies that ever played the game, so him "improving" from that means about as much as something Chuck Shumer or Kamala Harris would say.
DFS has been a decent contributor these past years. But let's be real, we're talking about contributions that roughly 150 other guys in the league could have given us in other ways. Contributions you would have expected him to give at 27 years of age and limited role.
He's definitely been better than Bullock, but that's a low bar to cross and it's not the bar you keep holding him to anyway. Your bar has been Green. And Greens bar has been Maxy.
The reason you'll never come around on Green is because you're not judging these guys based on any semblance of critical thinking. Any kind of thinking at all would do really.
You don't have to dig that hard either.
Comparing their age, contracts and any stat line along with a good old fashioned eye test would pretty much do it.
I don't hate DFS and nobody cancelled him. He was a solid guy last year and he's been alright this year. He has a place on the team, and he might still be slightly better than Green right now.
But Green is younger, can do more things and is a lot cheaper than DFS. He's more valuable all things considered and that gap is only going to grow.
It's really not close who I'd like to have going forward if I had to pick one, and it really shouldnt be close for you either.
