I think this could be the breakout game that Green needed. It seems like he's playing with more and more confidence. This kid is going to be a BEAST!!

It's unclear from the box scores so far... did Jeff wind up with 16 or 18 points to go with his 10 boards and 5 blocks?

Jeff Green is a BEAST.
Seriously, he was fighting off a guy that was probably 50 lb's bigger than him for every rebound, skying over him. He truly dominated him and the inside. It was terrific.
And making that 3 ball was great, teams will have to respect him outside and he can probably muscle by most.

Jeff won us this game tonight, there's no doubt about it my mind. I'll elaborate in the recap, but at the key juncture of the game, he took over. And it was a very composed, smart kind of taking over too, making it all the more important for a freshman.
Having not looked at the box score yet, whatever the block to offensive rebounds surrendered ratio is, I'll take it.

Thanks. Actually, I'd say most here are not in the DC area and didn't see it live...

Could soon be time for the modern era Rejection Row, haha. Maybe not, but we are blocking a ton of shots. This is such a different team than last year. Jeff is always a threat to throw peoples shots, Brandon is blocking a lot of shots, Roy stuffs a good amount, DJ has gotten his share and even Ashanti is pitching in as mentioned by THB.

26 blocks on the season so far... a solid 6.5 average. We'll see if it keeps up, but it definitely makes for some good highlight films in the meantime.

Being my first game I was very impressed with Green. The only comment I would have is that although the Penn State center was much heavier, he was no where near the leaper that Jeff was and Jeff will have to get some time against guys much bigger then him while still being able to drop these numbers.

have now seen Jeff play v. Temple and PSU.
wondering if we'll get two more years. lets enjoy while we can.
anybody else here seeing positive similarities between Jeff's game and Carmelo A's college game?
to date, Jeff appears patient in his approach to shot-blocking and boarding.
i'd be surprised if he fouls out of many contests this year.

I was thinking about the same comparison between Green and Melo. Of course, Green is not at the level of Melo, but their games seem similar. Even their size and hairstyles resemble each other.

The biggest difference between Jeff and Carmelo is that Jeff is attending an accredited university while playing basketball.

ps he wil beat out rudy gay for the big east rookie of the year just watch He won't.. Green's antics will be largely ignored in the national media, while Gay will be talked up by game commentators, sports analyst, and the like throughout the year... Even if Green finishes with better statistics, I don't think it will overcome Gay being chosen as rookie of the year Of course, Gay could also blow up and score 35ppg!
