Danny Green 

Post#1 » by UGA Hayes » Fri Apr 4, 2008 7:45 pm

I noticed that on draftexpress that Danny Green was ranked in the second round of the 2009 draft which I think is surprisingly low. His per minute numbers are pretty good. I don't see what Wayne Ellington, Gerald Henderson, Brandon Rush and other similarly aged SG types have done to be ranked higher than him. Any thoughts?

I like Danny Green's game but I think that he looks a lot better being on a great team. I think that he will probably be an early second round pick next year.

I don't think he's anything special on the next level. He is average at everything, at least as it projects to the NBA.

He might make the league, but I think the more likely thing is that he plays on some summer league teams or gets a little bit of run on a team's roster in preseason, but I don't see what he does well enough to be an asset to an NBA team, but maybe I'm just a downer.

He is the only reason UNC had a shot tonight. I too am puzzled that those prospects escpecially Rush are somehow such a better prospect than Green. IMHO Rush and Green are the exact same player only Green is 2 years younger, therefore having more upside.

Green has to come back and prove he is a high level guy. Right now it comes and goes with him. I like him more than Ellington, but only because he is a better defender.
