easily the 3-4 best player on this team and an absolute steal at 8 million. one poor game doesn't take away from his inspiring play thus far. dont forget he had 17 against his former team. off the bench too and off heart surgery.
Green has aabout 3 poor games and one good game, not even close to a steal for 9 million
I am not a Green defender or anything, but for the sake of accuracy, let's look at his game logs.
It is tough to really define what a "good" game is versus a bad one, but I gave it a shot.
Here are his good games this season:
19 pts / 3 rebounds / 2 assists / 4 steals / 1 block (vs Portland)
17 pts / 2 rebounds / 1 steal / 1 block (vs OKC)
9 pts / 2 rebounds / 2 assists (vs Toronto)
16 pts / 4 rebounds / 2 assists (vs Utah)
7 pts / 5 rebounds (vs Chicago, only 15 minutes of action)
12 pts / 3 rebounds / 1 steal / 2 blocks (vs Milwaukee)
11 pts / 2 rebounds / 1 steal (vs Washington)
11 pts / 1 rebound / 2 steals / 1 block (vs. Milwaukee)
So that's 8 good games by my fairly arbitrary standards. In these 8 games, he is averaging:
12.75 pts / 2.75 rebounds / .75 assists / 1.125 steals / .625 blocks
In his other 8 games, the bad ones, he is averaging
4 pts / 2.4 rebounds / .75 assists / .125 steals / .375 blocks
The Celtics are 7-1 in Jeff's good games, and 2-6 in his bad games.
