As much as I want him to be in that fringe all-star/all-star range, I just don't see it happening. I'll take him all day as a solid starting small forward though.

I think that's what most of us think. |

Somewhere between role-playing starter and solid starter. Depends on the team around him, and how well they can utilize his strengths.

Are you including yourself in that "us"? I was under the impression you saw Green as a 20 ppg all-star. I've got no objection to people who think Green can be a 15 point, 6 rebound player in 36 minutes per night. That's what he's always been. I just get queasy when people suggest that Green is suddenly going to take the leap to an all-star caliber player. |

] I see him as a 20/6/6 guy at his best and as good as Carmelo Anthony.. if played right. Which he can't be... unless he's the best SF on the team. |

Yeah, there's where you lose me. The 20 points is high, but whatever. I suppose in some bizarro world, Green could find his aggressive and increase his scoring output by about 25%. The real objection is to the 6 assists (that will *never* happen), or the Carmelo-like play. I can't see either of these as a projection based in any type of reality. |

This kid lacks the aggressiveness & fire of Carmelo Anthony. Its not really a switch you can turn on. |

If "In delusional posts on Celticsblog" were a possible answer, I would pick that.

Not to mention the talent. Carmelo simply has more of it. |

The 20 points is likely when he's a focal point of the offense... SFs are usually focal points too, so that should work for him. He has the ability. 6 rebounds, he's been getting his whole career. The 6 assists, I'm saying, is because if he has the ball in his hands, he can get assists. When you guys think he looks lost/unaggressive, I think he's scanning the court for options. He just holds the ball at the high post or to the side and finds the right man, typically. Six is certainly a stretch, maybe four is a better number. But he's certainly not "lost". He's got the capability to play up to Carmelo... |

How many wins do you think a team can get with the offense running through Green? |
