[CHRON] Greene is ready to show all that he's learned

Well, if he is the 4th best player on a not very good team, then the 3 better players above him must be within the Top 10 NBA draft, and all the NBA scouters were blind........

I just hope people aren't expecting big things from him next season. Lots of experts, including Morey, have stated that Greene is not quite ready and will take some time to develop. Don't be shocked if he's sent to the NBDL or warms the bench a lot.

 

I don't know what kind of crack he will smoke, but the crack you are smoking right has completely fried your brain.

 

Don't expect too much this year, but you have to like his athleticism and drive, and that could make him the steal of the draft.

But he is only 19......and not ready yet.

Unbelievable display of a complete lack of class. Do you make this stuff up, or does someone write your material?

 

In Morey I trust.

Yeah, sounds like sour grapes to me, and not consistent with all the facts other experts are saying. He's ranked #9 by some, and no less than #19 in terms of best in this draft by most scouts and "experts." I'm glad he fell to us.

I think I would have rather had Arthur in terms of potential, but Greene is the next best available, and fits, meeting our team needs better.

I'm not expecting much this year, but glad we have someone we are developing for after TMac is gone ... especially since we didn't get Roy or Gay 2 years ago.

It seems like Dorsey will meet more immediate needs next to and behind Yao, while our primary improvement will be via trades this off-season, since Landry will probably suck up our MLE for FAs.

... and now, we have a few more trading chits ... which is a very good thing.
