I am not surprised about the minutes.


He is the backup SF.  I imagine he is among the league leaders in minutes for a backup SF.



He gets spot minutes at PF because there are already two other PFs getting minutes.


The only way to get him more minutes is to move Pierce over to SG more often and have Terry play more PG minutes.  (I wouldn't mind seeing Rondo playing less then 40 minutes a game)  Of course the issue is one Bradley is back, he has to get minutes to see if he can build off what he did last year. 



So, Green is going to be a 20 minutes a game player.  Not because of his talent, but because he is on a team that only needs that amount of time from him.
