2017 NBA Manifesto
Danny Green
SG/SF, 6’6, 215lbs, 30 years old, 8 years of experience
The defence is as good as ever. The offence, however, is in a two year slump. Green recovered his true shooting percentage a little bit this season, back to .537% from .492% in 2015/16, but it does not compare to the four previous seasons of being between .579% and .600%. Green shot 37.9% from three-point range, itself also an improvement on the year prior but down compared to the four prior to that, and he still cannot be relied upon off the dribble. Still, even if the efficiency never comes back like it did, Green earns his money on defence alone.
Player Plan: Two years with $10 million each remaining, the second being a player option. What was a steal of a contract has become pretty appropriate in light of his offensive regression, and while he will probably play it out, he may have value on the market.
