See this exactly what I said with putting numbers towards your narrative. Let's just take last two games so you can see ( and few others out there ) how inconsistent he is and how it all depends on match ups.
You can cherry pick 2 games and make anyone look bad. Green has been as consistent a shooter as pretty much anyone on the team.
Jeff vs Nix 2-7 from 3 and haven't made one in a 2nd half. Good thing he realized the fact he wasn't making those shots and was taking it to the basket. Luckily Randle is bad defender and we got away with it.
Jeff vs NOP 2-4 from 3 both with big lead already established ( you think it didn't play any role? ).
Hold on, Jeff shoots 50% from three, and you going to criticize him for that because we were winning by alot? that is absurd.
Plain simple, teams will game plan and cheat with Green as a shooter, they will never dare to do that with Joe. Joe moving without the ball and shifting defense from side to side is also what you ignore completely. Joe is a + defender and with different line ups throughout the season. You don't fix whats not broken just because you favor certain line ups. This team is such a force with Joe because it provides spacing and allows our star power to do its damage.
I've been on board with your opinions this year a lot, you have plenty of good points. Just can't agree with you here Prok.
We dont need joe for spacing. we have FIVE guys shooting 38-40% or better from three without him on the floor. No one is a bigger Joe Harris fan then me. on one. He is the best floor spacer we have and elite shooter from all angles, spots and situaitons. but this isnt the bucks spacing it for giannis.
We have THREE elite 3-level scorers. a guy cheating off green isnt covering all 3 of them. and Green has made teams pay for cheating off him anyone
no one is bumping harris from the rotation. but i can see the value in starting games with a better defender while joe still gets his 30 minutes.
If you start slow offensively you can bring joe in. if you start slow defensively you cant take those points off the board.
If Joe Harris was not a member of this team we would still have elite spacing and be the greatest most efficient offense of all-time. obviously he helps. he makes us better. he is one of our best players. but its not like without him we lose spacing or are not a jaggernaut on offense
