Here's a portion of Pete Prisco's piece...
Green is the Big East Player of the Year, won MVP honors in the conference tournament and plays with a silky-smooth style that might make you miss his skills. His ability to do so many things is why he was picked as the best player in the league.
That's amazing when you consider he averaged just 13.6 points per game. But he also led the team in assists with 3.5, was second in rebounding at 5.9 and plays outstanding defense.
In Georgetown's first-round victory over overmatched Belmont, Green had just 15 points and three rebounds, but you could see the ease with which he plays the game. He can handle the ball like a man four inches shorter, which is why he is so valuable.
If the Hoyas need a post-up player to go with Hibbert, Green can do that, too. But it's his ability to play out on the court where he stands out most.
It's also something that will make him a lot of money.
"We'll see," Green said. "Hopefully."
A junior, Green has put off the talk of leaving for the NBA for now. But he might want to look at Noah as exhibit A as to why you go out when you're hot. Noah might have been the first player drafted last summer had he come out. Now he has fallen down the pecking order on most scouts' lists.
