All of that just to call the guy a got seems like a classic example of trying too hard.
Green's ceiling is like Scottie Pippen if he works super hard and becomes consistent
That's a lofty goal. I think Pippen is closer to Leonard's ceiling rather than Green's. I think Danny can become the two-guard version or Horry, though.
He looks like prime Ariza right now, IMO, which is not a bad place to be. His two biggest glaring deficiencies are confidence in his dribble drive (dribbling in general), and certain mental mistakes (mostly borne out of losing focus at times, I suspect). I actually don't know if he can fix either at this point, but he's already a damn good player as it is.
I suppose you're not old enough to have seen Scottie play, but Green is about as far away from Scottie as a wing could be. Apart from the transition defense, there's nothing similar about them two. Scottie was a superior perimeter defender, though the handchecking definitely helped, he was never anywhere near the 3 point shooter that Green is, but had great handles, could attack and finish strongly and was a great distributor.
His ceiling is that of a role player on a championship team in the form of being a 3&D guy. He's probably the best 3&D guy in the league.
But he can't dribble or play make worth a . He added a one-handed little runner last season to a degree and once he perfects that I can't see him really adding much else.
pippen ran an offense. green is fortunate to not dribble off his foot
