    improve ball handling and passing. His dribbling fundamentals are pretty below average for a guard imo, He gets away with it because he's so quick and just gets past you. But I remember experienced defenders just poking and stripping his high dribbles over and over again. I think it was the Raptors game where Gary Trent just waited for Green to dribble and then slapping the ball away and it worked almost everytime

    He has below NBA wingspan. Average NBA is +4" over their height. He needs to learn how to dribble tighter. I hope he can improve his defense awareness and how to draw foul. He won't get hot in every game. He play bad if his shot isn't falling. Defense and drawing foul don't need you to stay hot.

    His handles or at least his confidence in his handles improved pretty drastically throughout the season. He was doing advanced dribble moves on teams like the Heat towards the end of the season.

    I think he'll average 25ppg.

    What I want to see is shooting around 45%/38%/80% and getting 5 boards and assists per game. I hope for massive improvement on the defensive side of the ball.

    I get the feeling that he's just a scorer in this league, which that alone isn't going to win games. You have to contribute in at least one other part of the game to lead a good team.

    Are you doubting NBA University? Tuition is free, but it's a fine institution.
