The Dallas Mavericks selected Josh Green with their first-round pick in the 2020 NBA Draft. Most thought the organization would trade the selection for a veteran that could help them win now. The Mavs decided to take Green for his 3-and-D potential.
It has been a slow start for the 20-year-old in the NBA. He was limited to mop-up duty early before being thrust into a nightly role as the Mavericks dealt with COVID issues. The team is back healthy, and Green has not played by coach’s decision in eight of the last nine games.
