Green>Belli

[Drom John]

2013-2013 WS/48
Belinelli .134 (8th on Spurs)
Green .099 (13th on Spurs)

Career WS/48
Belinelli .075
Green .125

Looking at stats only Belinelli's year is an aberration. That aberration may be Ginobili/Popovich.
OTOH, Green's offense has take a dip particularly 3 pt shooting, while his defense has been steady.

Quite a discussion, I am just jumping on the end after scanning through so apologies if I missed this but:

The real question is whether Belli>Neal as that was the roster choice being made. Definite yes for me. Not saying Belli is way better than Neal but better fit for our system and certainly no worse on defense.

Yeah, and not a knock on Neal either. He was great for us, but Marco is simply better.

Belli really caught my eye last year against Heat. He was one of best players Bulls had on the floor. Clearly a gamer despite being overmatched against Wade/James. I guess since he couldn't beat those guys by himself Bulls considered him expendable. Their loss our gain, we get a smart, sharpshooting player who is an excellent fit for a bargain basement price. Reigning 3 point champ to boot, what's not to love?

Beli and Nate (also let go) were balling in that series. Beli was good even from his NO days. Under the right system and players around him that can masquerade his flaws, he can thrive. I loved the signing when it happened, still love it today. Big fan of the Italian.

Actually the question is Belinelli vs. Green.
Who get's PT?
Belinelli currently deserves more PT than Green, though I'd go more on matchups. Green gets my vote against good shooters. Belinelli get my vote if Ginobili's on the floor.

Belinelli vs. Neal. Nope, that ship was over the horizon once the season started.

I for one am gonna wait until Beli is the best player of a Finals game or hit a season saving shot like Neal did .
