Milwaukee Bucks: Josh Green stands as intriguing NBA Draft wing target

Weaknesses

Undoubtedly, Green’s shooting ability will be crucial to master for him to offer the requisite floor spacing he will have to provide at the next level.

Green certainly passed that test over his lone year at Tuscon, though his 36.1 percent is neither overwhelmingly inspiring nor all that alarming. Fortunately, Green’s 78 percent free throw shooting points to the former Wildcat holding the foundation to a viable shot and at this stage, he’s far from a dynamic shooter beyond catch-and-shoot situations.

The other element of Green’s scoring output that will be critical to realizing his role in the NBA will be continuing to refine his touch at the basket.

Considering his relentless attacking of the basket, Green possesses the skills to attack aggressive closeouts and burst by defenders and according to Hoop-Math, Green converted 63.5 percent of his scoring opportunities at the rim as a freshman. But growing his finesse finishing skills will be important for him to develop, especially against NBA-level rim protectors.

The big question as it relates to whether Green can offer a little more offensive versatility is if he can eventually be a capable shot creator for others. Green’s 1.59 assist-to-turnover ratio at Arizona shows a baseline of making smart decisions with the ball, but that came on a 20.7 usage percentage and his score-first mentality has long been established at this point.
