Gerald Green is a pretty good shooter. That's why he's here.
He'll probably just play some spot minutes here and there for shooting. Not good news for RJ and James Young. I wonder how that effects Brown's role this year.
Actually I think he's in the rotation and getting consistent minutes every game at least to start. They probably hope Brown can take his minutes 2nd half of the season but right now he's taking Turner's spot.
Well, I'd hope we find a way to get Brown some time somehow. He's too good for the D League.
But the bench unit is really lacking shooting. The 4 spot is the only position with decent shooters off the Bench with Jerebko and KO. And chances are you need one of Horford/Amir on the floor almost all the time. I mean look at this line up
Rozier/Smart/Brown/Jerebko/Johnson (I want KO to start)
Unless one of those guys makes a big jump in shooting, that line up is gonna struggle to space the floor. Green gives us a really good shooter to put at the 2 or 3. Lends well to their up-tempo style as well. A lot of versatility there, Rozier can play the 1 and 2, Smart can play 1-3, Green can play 2/3, Brown can play 2-4, Jerebko can play 3-5 and Amir can play the 4/5 effectively. Assuming the shooting is there, the bench looks set up well to play the switching D Stevens loves.
I think we're going to outperform common expectations again this year.
