    Our roster makes Jeff Green look like Yao Ming our there.

    Yao would die of a stroke in this Russ paced team.

    A veteran, solid F, all around player, always having very impressive plays.
    It's nice he's with us.

    Jeff Green is an old scrub, but he’s the kind of role player this team needs. He’s also a good dude. Nothing not to like about having him on the roster right now.

    So far, I am liking the efficiency and directness of Green’s rim runs. No wasted motion. Just jump, dunk. Straight in.

    As much as I like House, he seems to turn every layup attempt into a display of contortion and aerial acrobatics.

    I think that is self preservation for House because he is only 6'6 with 6'8 wingspan, trying to navigate in forest of redwoods. He needs to dunk with his legs, all hops.

    And he is a young un, may be overthinking sometimes.

    Green is a vet but he is still a tremendous athlete with a great vert. Combine his savvy, athleticism, handles and length (6'8 and 7'1 wingspan) he becomes an automatic bucket in the paint.

    Even amongst the trees.

    Loved Clint but Green is a better 5 for our system.

    Even with Green's defensive limitations, Clint was even more limited but not as versatile on offense or defense.

    Green is a 3ball shooting ball handling 5 who excels as short roller.

    Does not rebound as well (who needs rebounds?) or rim protect (Covington excels here) but much more effective defending 1-5.

    Dang, that is harsh. Do not agree, especially if CP3 does not get injured.

    However, Morey was willing to use him as part if package to acquire Jimmy Butler so Rahat may be onto something here.

    Except he is a much better offensive player, not as good on defense.
