Just because Greene "got a BE scholarship" doesn't mean he can ball. He is a position-less player. Can't play the 2 and certainly can't play point. Keep watch him zig-zagging around the court mindlessly with his dribble and defending him with little class or honor.
C'mon man. This is a bit harsh. He was our second best player in the last 10 minutes of regulation tonight.
I'm not an X's and O's guy, but isn't Greene's aimless dribbling east & west a function of the half court offense as a whole? Isn't the onus on the 5 players on the court, taken collectively together to create opportunities?
Don't get me wrong, it drives me nuts that Greene dribbles so much, but the half court offense seems to just never get going. I think the ball needs to get into Branch's hands more. His mental mistakes notwithstanding, at least Branch has the ability to the get to the rim. It gets Greene off the ball to be a spot up shooter - which he is pretty good at.
I've repeatedly crapped on our offensive "sets" and our inability to get our best player the ball and even offered ways to change this, more than a few times earlier in this thread, so you're basically agreeing with me.
I think it's ridiculous to just crap on Greene like he sucks or something. He's definitely a DI player and can play a very important role on this team. This year, and the next 2 afterwards.
