    Hypothetically if Green was to develop as an elite scorer and also an elite defender.

    And was paired with an elite Playmaking point guard.

    Would Green also need to be a strong play maker to be a true number one?

    Or could he be in the Kawhi, Kobe, Wade mold? Especially if he’s elite both on and off ball scoring wise.

    I’m asking because I have the feeling defense would come more naturally for him specifically than Playmaking.

    Playmakers need transcendent abilities to carry their team to a title as a 1A too. It's not like good playmakers are playing on easy mode, they still need to do a lot of things at an elite level to win a championship.

    I agree.

    I just see Green more likely to be an elite defender than elite player maker.

    It’s early so I could definitely be way off.

    Is he 6'8, 6'6 or 6'5?

    5'6 with lifts?

    Sounds like Shrinkage

    That briefcase thing is from a show called Baggage, which was the absolute best game show that never got any attention. Jerry Springer was the host. Every episode was great. RIP Baggage.

    I’m sure I’ve never been so hyped for a completely meaningless game.

    I'd be curious to know if it's that he hates Cade or if he hates anybody that anyone dares rank ahead of him? lol.

    Why not both? Gotta love that fire in him compared to Cade's statement about not wanting to overstep his role on the team being a #1 pick and all. He should have declared his franchise status if I were him.

    Green comes across as a really cool guy off the court, and then he turns into a fun loving psychopath while on it.

    Cade can't guard Green. He blew by him multiple times with ease.
