He never had a Matt Thomas ceiling because of his shooting release.
He now has legit stregnth and lateral quickness, and that raises the ceiling for him.
I don't get why you guys keep obsessing over this. Like yeah, it's great, but he's still strictly a catch and shoot guy. 34.6% on pull-ups, 0.94 PPP coming off screens (41st percentile). It doesn't meaningfully impact his offensive upside beyond being a catch and shoot floor-spacer. But yes, it's the defensive improvement that's been a revelation. Garrison Matthews with better defense is a solid rotation player.

Although I didn't know Grayson Allen was going to leave the Bucks and shoot almost 50% (47.9%) from 3 on the season this year.
When I originally said it, I meant the Buck's version of Grayson Allen. If we're talking about the Buck's version of Grayson I still stand 100% by what I have been saying about Green for the past 15 months.
I fully expected this development from AJ Green.
Why? Because you could see from day 1 the guy competes at an extremely high level and he has some tools. Guys who compete at an extremely high level and aren't stiffs usually end up being solid NBA rotation players.
Hopefully Doc keeps playing Green and actually starts running plays for him.

Is this an implicit accusation the AJ Green is using the best roids available?

It's pretty simple why we point this out. He can get shots others can't, and that will be an asset come playoff time. Put him with the starters and he'll feast.

Not at all. Simply noting that AJ Green has made a massive improvement in strength and athleticism this year, and I applaud him for his commitment to his craft.
And frankly, if he improbably makes a leap here, it potentially saves our ass as a team.

Simply not true. Literally just watched him two games ago get uncomfortable on a closeout in the corner and he flubbed it badly. A few games before that he was pressured and forced to dribble and couldn't get a shot off. Green is doing a lot of nice things but he's still a shoot from wide open while standing still kinda guy.

It's no **** wonder Kyle Lowry always has back spasms, shaking that bowling ball like a **** maraca.
