I don't dump on him for those reasons. I dump on him because of the wasted talent, he should be a lot better than he is and it's no one's fault but his own.
though I do think we could do things to trick him into being better. like getting the ball to him early and often, force feed him the ball, look for him on inbounds plays after a basket is scored and rebounds. if he got the ball on a break or on an inbounds play after the other team scores he could do some damage with less defenders back.
we've seen green have good games when this stuff happens. why not make a concerted effort to do it consistently. rondo doesn't have to bring the ball up every play.
You could be more right than you know. Look at these highlights against the Cavs from last season and you'll see that many of his touches begin in his sweet spot - the mid-post to traditional post position. He may not be a great ball handler or one-on-one player, but I always thought that Green was much more of a traditional sf, in that his strength is posting up. He's got some good moves and we should just, as you say, force feed him the ball down low. It won't change his approach or production too much, imo, but maybe it will. You never know.

Food for thought:
According to basketball-reference.com, Green took 39.1% of is FGA within 10 feet. That's 5.6 FGA per game.
According to NBA.com's Player Tracking data, Green received just 1.8 'Close Touches' per game. They define a 'Close Touch' as a received touch within 12 feet of the hoop.
So, basically, that meant that the vast majority of Green's shots within 10 feet were the result of him either working it into the post himself or driving.
Conversely, when he wasn't taking close-in shots, Green took the next big chunk of his shots outside the arc -- a mammoth 396 of them this year. That's 4.8 per game (34% of his shots). Far more than he's ever taken -- and according to Danny, this was because the team wanted him working on it. Of these 3PT shots, 86.7% were assisted, overwhelmingly as catch-and-shoot. For that to be the case, most of the time he would most likely have been setup outside by design.
Of course, given the dearth of reliable 3PT shooting on this team, setting Green up outside was probably necessary to give some semblance of space to guys like Sully, Hump & Bass.
To summarize, Green was used primarily as an outside-in scorer in this offense, with an emphasis on 'outside'. The team did little to get him the ball inside. Most of his inside scoring, he created on his own.
