The Mercurial Jeff Green

The topic of Jeff Green is one that causes emotions to flair. Consternation or elation are the two radical extremes as well as the two most prevalent reactions a basketball fan has when watching Green play. He confounds the senses when he looks like he has no idea what he’s doing on defense, or when he pulls up for a contested, long midrange jumper with seven seconds remaining on the shot clock. But on the flip side, when he attacks the rim or gets out in transition, flexing his athleticism—the best part of his game—he’s one of the most thrilling players in the NBA.
