Jeff Green is a 6’8, 235 pound versatile player who can create mismatches for other teams. He makes people around him better, he plays with intensity and passion, and plays well in big games.
He is a good passer with nice court vision, has nice ball-handling skills and has a high basketball IQ. He plays great defense on the perimeter, and can guard multiple positions. He plays well without the ball and is a good backdoor alley-opp player, with his leaping ability makes him a great finisher around basket. He plays with a positive attitude and is a good team player on and off court. He has good body control and can handle contact real well, and he also has a nice post up game. He reacts to double teams well, is a good transition player, and is a good rebounder. He is capable of shooting threes and makes good decisions on the court.
Jeff still needs to improve on his perimeter shooting, and he struggles to create a shot for himself. He also doesn’t really have a scorers mentality and his more passive. Jeff picks up fouls by reaching in too much and its becoming a habit. He could improve his foot speed, and free throw shooting. He has a decent first step move, nice hands, and is an athletic player. Overall Jeff Green has many physical gifts and he uses them well, he continues to improve and has a lot of upside to his game.
Right now he said he is 70% sure he’ll be back at Georgetown next year. Some project him as a top 10 this year, I say he’s a top 20, as a best case scenario he has been compared to Lamar Odom and as a worst case Luke Walton. I think he’ll be fine whether he goes pro or not.
