Josh Green has been one of the standouts in the Mavericks’ first week of training camp.
It’s not by accident.
The third-year swingman has set himself for this to be a major leap year for him.
Gone is the specter of COVID-19, which hung over his first two seasons and kept him from a lot of team-building and individual-improvement opportunities.
Gone is the hesitance and the lack of confidence.
And, mostly, gone is last season’s forgettable playoff run.
Green said on Friday that he forced himself to watch the horror-show tapes of his postseason, when his production (and subsequently, his playing time) shriveled up.
