Jeff Green Picks Locker right next to KG

[Celtics4ever]

KG has his padewan now to turn the young man into a b-ball jedi.

Doc says when he asked Green told him he prefers playing the 3 to the 4.  Green was brought in because Pierce needed a backup.  And let's hope Baby is back taking backup 4 minutes very quickly.

So it's a little surprising to me that we haven't heard more about Pierce taking him under his wing.  Ray was the guy who first took him out to dinner.  He's been gushing about KG's support.  But where's Pierce?  Not concerned about a competitor taking his spot in a year or two, I hope.

So much potential and part of the issue in OKC is that they played him at the 4 not the 3. Plus look at Chris, we move the ball better than OKC which basically plays the two man game with Durant and Westbrook.

My first thing I thought when this trade went down was that KG was going to take Jeff under his wing. Looks like Jeff wanted that and that's a good thing. Glad to see he is doing well here!

As the captain of the team, I certainly hope thats not the case. Maybe Jeff and KG's personalities are more in line than him in Pierce's?

But I don't mind a former MVP and Defensive Player of the Year taking Jeff under his wing - not to say Paul wouldn't have as much to offer, but I consider KG to be the emotional leader of this team. He's the guy that makes it all click, so if some of that rubs off on Jeff, I'll be a happy camper.

As far as on the court skills, Jeff seems to be a very good post player and can probably pick up some good tips from Garnett. Defensively, KG can help him tons.

It must be great for him to go from OKC, where he was the oldest of the young nucleus to Boston, where he is now the youngest of the core.

Instead of having to be a leader of sorts in OKC, he gets to be a student here. He was at best the third option most of the time in OKC, now he will be the first option with the second unit (and he will expose every opposing second-teams weaknesses - did you see how quickly Phoenix had to start doubling him?). He will even get good looks with the starters because of how unselfish they are. Rondo, Ray, Paul and KG are all willing passers and don't force shots.

The talent is obviously there, but his ceiling in OKC was already reached. A change of scenery was going to help him regardless, but I don't think any team could help him more than Boston.

Sitting next to KG every game will help this kid tremendously. I don't know how they did it in OKC, but it certainly wasn't KG's style.
