    This.

    I still watch the games just to see how certain players are doing, but I couldn't care less about wins or losses. The team has made it apparent that they don't either, so why would I as a fan care?

    Agreed he's not a 6th man, but y'all need to give reasons.

    In looking at the past "6th man" winners: to be a legit 6th man, you either need to be instant offense off the bench (Harrell, Jamal Crawford, Lou Williams, Eric Gordon) or fundamentally sound to essentially run the second unit (Manu Ginobili).

    It already takes Green forever to get within the flow of the offense at the start, so he's more than likely going to be cold, coming off the bench. That rules out instant offense. And he clearly has no leadership skills nor can he run the team like a floor general. That rules out running the second unit.

    Dude isn't a starter nor is he a "6th man." At this point in time, he's a rotation player.

    Give props to John Wall. Jalen Green and Kevin Porter Jr. would be out the league on any other team. (And that’s who we were building around.)
