I'm actually super excited about Danny Green now after hearing the Spurs medical staff failed to detect a torn groin last year. His defense was solid, but a farcry from what it was when he defended LeBron in those finals. And his shooting was so damn erratic.

Though if he really was suffering from a tear in his groin, that explains it all.

He's had such an odd three year stretch TS wise but I do believe he wasn't 100%.

With more ball movement and focus away from ISO ball, I feel he will thrive.

Problem is our medical staff may not be world class either. See Demarr Caroll

DeMar DeRozan remains frustrated with the Raptors, mainly team president Masai Ujiri, who he failed to refer to by name in his first meeting with the media after the blockbuster deal. Josh Lewenberg joins SportsCentre to discuss DeRozan's frustrations and the reasons behind Kawhi Leonard's absence from USA Basketball camp.

He's still only 31 which isn't old, that's when guys are pretty much at their best- especially a shooter. I think if he's 100% his defense should obviously improve as well.
