Rockets sign Jeff Green

Maybe you haven't followed Greens career that closely lol, dude has always been a very explosive athlete and dunker.



Slashing is kind of the only thing that he's ever been good at over his career, he's not a particularly good defender, rebounder or reliable shooter, but he's always been decent at using his athleticism to drive and score a bit.

 

Carroll has been solid defensively thus far actually. Not any type of scoring threat yet, but still infinitely better as a backup C when compared to Chandler and Nene.

 

Wonder if he sticks around next season - has been a good fit so far.

 

4 games

20 minutes per game

29.7 net rating with him on the floor

89.6 TS%

 

Has he been playing C? I didn't realize. Looks more like he's getting the majority of his minutes at the 4 and Green at the 5.

I do like his defense. I agree with that.

 

Its f*cling thrilled see Jeff Green made slam dunk…his long arm n vertical jumping ability make it full of strength
Luv we signing him, seeing him off the the bench

 

Wanted him since the off-season, glad he will stick around. He's so calm on the court, but with that inner fire.

 

It takes him 2 strides to get to the rim from the 3 pt line. It's been forever since we've had a big that mobile and athletic.

 

yeah. he is soooooooo solid and versatile! and definitely fit in w/ the kinda role we drew up to him, i.e. dunt need him off the bench to contribute 15pts every night, just 5-10pts is enough.

EDIT: he looks extremely comfortable w/ the role, by far.

 

His 10 days are up? When do we sign him permanently?

 

Some Reports mentioned that it was converted to a full contract already

 

this weekend

 

yup, signed before the MEM's game, the contract to end of this season. I just forgot the amount that salary. (guess I saw feigen twitted)

 

Was hoping we could sneak in a team option for next year. I mean he did go unsigned for half the season.

 

This apparently was never about us wanting to see if he fit, but all about whether or not Green wanted to be here. Rockets wanted him, but he held the cards here, and the 10-day was so he could decide if he wanted to stay. NO way he was signing a team-option. We'd have more likely seen a player option, honestly.

 

He was an excellent defender with Lebron and Cavs. He is an uber elite athlete that does not always have the consistency or mental acuity of the superstars.

 

Just the perfect D'Antoni backup C. (Tim Thomas 2.0)

Dork Elvis strikes again.

 

For those counting LTS pennies out there...

 

Thank God we saved Tilman some money! Screw the 'ship, LTS savings is what we live for!
