Danny Green 2016-17 season review: Your friendly neighborhood 3-and-D guy

Midway through the second quarter of Game 1 versus Memphis, Danny Green was the lone defender back on a three-on-one fast break. The GrizzliesBrandan Wright advanced the ball to Mike Conley who returned it to Wright just in time for the big man to go up for the dunk. Green, positioned under the basket, didn’t jump, foul or get out of the way; he simply timed his swipe at the ball perfectly to knock it loose. The third man on the break, James Ennis III, collected the ball and kicked it back to a trailing Vince Carter, who was chased off the three-point line by a sprinting Green.
