Is it just me or is he doing a lot of standing around on offense? I don't know his numbers...I just tuned in in the 3rd quarter.

With trigger-happy Durant, all you need to do is stand around. He's following PJ's instructions.

Watson has more rebounds than Jeff Green in less minutes...I notice how K State's Beasley always runs to where he thinks the rebound will be after a shot is thrown up, while here on offense Jeff sometimes just watches from ten feet away while three Suns collect underneath the basket from a Sonics midrange shot. If Collison can collect 7 offensive rebounds, no reason why #22 can't work on this aspect and do the same...other than some turnovers, and some bad shots forced by inert ball movement by the team, he is having his moments.

Seattle is hamstrung by guards who do not know what they are doing and too many guys who think shot first and everything else second.

Yeah, I thought it was pretty revealing when the minute Ridnour entered, Jeff had a slam off of a nice feed from him (this was off a rebound that Jeff grabbed on the defensive end). Wish Ridnour could get healthy - it would benefit Jeff's game a lot.
Jeff was doing a lot of standing around in the 3rd Q but he was much more active in the 4th. It's a learning process and I think he is doing fine. On the positive side, he played 40 minutes! He also showed that he could score at will on Grant Hill, so he should have been trying to do it more often.

really not sold on Kevin Durant being the league's next big star. While I agree that Jeff will be a great role player, I dont see the Durant-Green combo developping into a Pippen-Jordan like thing.

I think it may take some time for Durant to develop (more than most so-called experts expected), but he is so talented - sweet stroke and can handle the ball like a guard. If he develops some strength to go with his size, long arms and talent, he will probably reach the upper echelon of the league.
Whether the Durant-Green combo will ever develop is another question. It probably won't, but it doesn't have to as long as the Sonics get some talent down the road. If you think about it, they played the Suns pretty close and the talent levels are night and day (Nash vs. Watkins? Stoudemire vs. whomever? Ouch.)

Jeff ranks 4th among Rookies in pts, rbs, Ast, and efficiency(minimum 20 games played). Now that he is starting and PJ is giving him more minutes, all of his numbers and production will go up. He is doing just fine thank ya very much...

The other problem is that PJ insists on running the stale NBA "isolate two guys for 2-on-2 while the other three guys stand on the other side of the court at the 3 point line and watch" "offense" that Don Nelson originated.

Jeff cracked the top 10 again in Thorpe's weekly rookie watch at ESPN.com (I assume this is new - hope it's not already a week old). Here is his blurb on Jeff (Insider access required):
• The light shining on Kevin Durant casts a shadow on a few other rookies who in most seasons would be ROY candidates -- none moreso than his teammate, Jeff Green. The more I watch him, the more I think Green may be a top-tier player in this league. Scottie Pippen to Durant's Michael Jordan? Not quite. But his multiple offensive skills and basketball IQ, combined with Durant's scoring talent, means that in many big games in Seattle's future, defenses that aim to slow Durant are going to have fits defending Green. He'll be too good to have just anybody rotate onto him.

Jeff looked really bad yesterday...Durant didnt look too good either. Jeff took a lot of really bad jump shots...only when the game was out of reach did he realize that he was more effective going to the basket...same with Durant. The both of them got eaten alive on D by Caron Butler...it was almost unbearable to watch how Butler just completely muscled the both of them to the basket.

Actually, he took a lot of good, open jumpshots, but unfortunately he missed all of them.

During the Georgetown-Depaul game, NBA Live discussed a rumor that the Seattle front office was upset with Coach Carlesimo's use of Jeff Green. I was at a sports bar, so the conversation was on mute. However, they were showing Jeff's highlights as opposed to missed shots and him getting beat, so I'm assuming the front office wants him to be used more. However, this is puzzling based on an article that came out today from Seattle which calls into question Green's role as a starter: seattlepi.nwsource.com/basketball/346799_sonx10.htmlAnyone have any insight into this situation?
