Don't look now but Danny Green is shooting career highs 

Post#1 » by Phreak50 » Fri Jan 6, 2017 2:27 pm

If we ignore Danny's first season with us where he just played 8 games, we have Danny Green having a career shooting year.

Finally!

46.1% fg and 45.7% 3pt.

His shot is falling, he is looking confident (from outside at least) in taking pullups, quick release catch and shoots and is hesitating much, much less.

We've finally got the guy back we were looking for all of last season (37% and 33% fg/3p). It makes a world of difference having him knocking down shots.

He still looks lost when being run off the 3pt line and made to put the ball on the floor and has a habit of badly pretending he is going to shoot in close and putting teammates under pressure with bad passes but we have to appreciate his shooting accuracy at the very least.

Between Aldridge looking like he's had a fire lit under him and Parker receiving a bottle from the fountain of youth for Christmas, this team is starting to show signs.

Danny seems like such a nice guy and as much as I've hated on his failures, I am really happy for him and the season he is having so far.

He's been great so far this year on both ends. I agree with you that he's still awful when he has to put the ball on the floor, but he does everything that we need him to do.

It's SO good to see his percentages where they are- especially in January, as we need his confidence to be buttressed by a solid body of work on the season when May rolls around.

I'm glad the Spurs didn't listen to folks wanting them to dump him for a late first-rounder "while he still had value".
