Nice to see Jeff get his first NBA double double, but GOD the Sonics are bad. They are going to lose more games before the all-star break than Jeff lost in three years at Georgetown.

Who is Jeff guarding? Stromile is going off in the first (38 points for his team!!!!!) quarter. From the Sonics' blogs it sounds like Jeff was starting specifically to keep tabs on Gay.

This is an awful team. And Durant will be excellent, but he's got a long way to go.

nice stats by jeff. not sure who he was guarding, but their bigs (swift and gasol) had huge games. if he was on rudy gay then he must have done a nice job. congrats on your first start big guy.

I doubt Green guarded Gay because that would have left 6-6 Wilkins on Paul Gasol.
Regardless Gasol had 14 points so it wasn't as if he went off on Jeff or anything.

This was the most minutes that he has played this season(30). He was drained.
After 12 games Jeff is averaging about 10pts and 5rbs in 20min per game. He is 3rd among rookies in points and rbs. He is also shooting about 47% from the field and 75% from the line.
Next game is Friday against the Nets on ESPN.

David Thorpe at ESPN has a free Insider article on his top 10 rookies. Some kudos for our man:
"Jeff Green is considered a face-up 4/3, but he is dangerous as a low-post threat. He patiently works to get his hook shot off, and he has great hands. Better yet, he has a nose for the ball and is very comfortable making plays in traffic. This kid is worthy of his top-five selection."
... and ...
"8. Jeff Green, Sonics Third in points per game and fourth in rebounds per game amongst rookies. Coming off his first double-double, Green is making more of a winning contribution than KD."

Just a reminder that Jeff is currently playing the Nets on ESPN right now. He's 2-3 from the floor with 5 pts (incl. 1-1 from 3) and 6 boards. They're about halfway through the second quarter. He's got 1 foul, but he's playing some good D and has forced some turnovers.

The commentators are giving him props. He's looking good, but still around the perimeter. I guess it's part of PJ's game plan.

On a somewhat related note, they just aired an NBA Cares commercial during one of the game breaks and Iverson and Mourning were two of the 5-6 players that were featured. GU was the only school with more than one player. Granted G'town could probably have a commercial of its own given what AI, Mourning and Dikembe have all done for various charities and philanthropic causes, but it was nice to see these two guys get some props.

Jeff's playing well overall. 14 and 13 so far. However on D he's been getting burned by Richard Jefferson. Also got into it with Jason Kidd that ended up in a jump ball.

He's been burned a couple times, but I'd say he's been solid defensively in general, at least by NBA standards. Other than that though he's having a great game. A ton of energy and making a lot of good plays. That dunk along the baseline was pretty sweet.

GU was the only school with more than one player. s. More importantly Boo Williams was the only AAU team to have two of its former players seen in the ad. ;D Jeff needs to work on the pullup shot and the dribble drive. He needs to keep on practicing those jumpshots too. If he ever gets those areas taken care of he will be a regular All-Star participant.

Damn, I thought the Sonics were going to make a run and pull it off. They got KILLED by TOs and free throws down the stretch. They're showing signs of progress though--hopefully they get a win at home soon.

The Sonics lost but Jeff finished with 14 pts and 14 rebounds on 6-10 shooting. He played for over 32 minutes which included most of the 2nd half and pretty much the entire 4th quarter I think.

Jeff looked Editeded at the end. That pass from West when they were down by two wasn't by any stretch a good pass, but it was a physically catchable ball. Tough loss, but they looked better than I've seen in several of their much worse losses.

I guess it might have been catchable, but it would have taken a superhuman effort. It was thrown at such close range and so quickly that there simply wasnt enough time to react and get his hands up high enough. I'd say that pass gets caught about 2% of the time.

Yeah I'm not saying he should have by any stretch. I just think that with a chance to finally pick up a win, Jeff (or any athlete trying to elevate a team) would want to make that play, regardless of how exceptional it would have needed to be. I hope he's not getting frustrated. It's obvious that he's making strides in the league, and if Durant develops like he should, they could be a monstrous duo for a long time.
