He’s projected to be a 6-foot-6 Bradley Beal or Zach Lavine, the kind of player who can score 20 points on any given night.
“He can shoot the ball wherever you want it,” said Green’s G League Ignite teammate Daishen Nix.
What they don’t have is a superstar scorer who can the centerpiece of a winning offense, the type of player Green is projected to be.
“I’ve never seen anybody play the way he does,” said Isaiah Todd, another of Green’s G League teammates.
It would require the Houston Rockets selecting USC’s Evan Mobley over Green, which is plausible, and then the Cleveland Cavaliers picking Gonzaga point guard Jalen Suggs, potentially to replace Collin Sexton who the Cavaliers are reportedly shopping, which seems unlikely.
If Toronto does see Green as its missing piece, it better be ready to make a move to go up and get him.
