With Kawhi shooting more and LMA taking more shots than Splitter used to, it's not too surprising that Danny's role on offense is shrinking a little. One good sign is his 3PT% has been back to normal for the past 10 games @ 21-48 for 43.75%...

They are pretty close. Danny traditionally accounts for a bit more of the Spurs offense (some back of the napkin calculations), but not by much. Last year he definitely played the biggest role offensively, making up over 10% of the Spurs's points.
Bruce Bowen % of Team Points:
2003-2004: 7.5%
2004-2005: 8.5%
2005-2006: 7.8%
2006-2007: 6.3%
Danny Green % of Team Points:
2011-2012: 8.8%
2012-2013: 10.2%
2013-2014: 8.6%
2014-2015: 11.3%
Regardless if he's shooting well or not, he won't be left open. He'll pull whatever defender out to the perimeter with him, and the defensive pairing with Kawhi on the opposite end makes up for the offensive inconsistencies that have more to do with the rest of the starting 5 than him (imo). Especially with TP being a defensive liability against the PG-loaded WC.
Hate seeing him dribble and attempt to play outside his ability though. And those plays look so ty that I think it's easy to magnify them over the good that he brings to the table.
He sucks. He got paid and does care about basketball anymore
When Bowen was around, nobody had any expectation that he would contribute to offense. We were more than thrilled that he would make those 3's. I think the same kind of expectation is fair for Green. Green isn't going to force a shot if he's covered. This could be a good thing or a bad thing depending on the situation.
