Hmm...
The massive changes in Houston give me reason to pause passing judgement on Green just yet, especially considering he spent his first two seasons in an intentionally tanking atmosphere.
Udoka seems to have tasked him with the greatest adjustment and he's shown improvement on defense and as playmaker in these first three months.

Green is so disappointing.

He’s at 40% this season. Still a small sample size but he’s averaged that since the beginning of February. Another sneaky improvement is his percentage close to the basket.

The next goal for Suggs is to stay healthy. He was throwing his body around the first two seasons and picked up a lot of nagging injuries. He still goes too hard on offense sometimes, but he’s found a way to channel it effectively (like in transition).


I guess it is a small sample size because it was 37% the last time I checked but still, very promising considering where he was last year. I was putting him in mock trades for Donovan Mitchell and Zach LaVine but it seems like he's priced himself out of that.
So he stating he is better than Donovan? Lol not even if you attached 2 first round picks with that bum.

they're both underwhelming for their draft slots but i think you have to go with suggs. he's at least capable of being a high level roleplayer. not sure green ever puts it together.

Suggs.


Now what about Jaylen Brown, Jalen Williams, or Jalen Brunson?

Suggs still has the most upside. If the Lakers has Suggs instead of Dlo playing D, game over Lakers will win a championship this season!

Wait... Just so I'm clear. You're saying Suggs has higher upside than those 3 players?

No but they could probably get Mitchell without having to include him. If he's as good as gone, nobody's gonna pay full price for him.

Hmm a chucking inefficient guard who doesn't play defense or an elite perimeter defender with a massively improved offensive game with room to add more. Yeah Suggs easily.

I don't know, Carmelo Anthony made a 19 year career with that style.
