Yes, but does Green eat PBJs with the crusts cut off? Is he known for his intense passion or his super-cool?
I, for one, am just happy we have Jeff with us now. I hope we can root him on for many years to come.

Great quote about Jeff from the "PennLive" article cited in another thread:
"The 6-8 dreadlocked Green, a mere freshman from Len Bias' old high school in Hyattsville, Md., is a tremendous catch for Thompson. He can face up and go by you, pop out and hit the long jumper or post up and either power down a defender or finesse him with the duck-under.
He twisted Johnson into a knot with one of those late in the killing rally. It rolled out but he got his own, was fouled and swished the free throws."
You've got to love it when the opposing team's hometown paper is showering your player with accolades!

The Green-Gay comparison is like Troy Bell vs. Sweetney for BE POY a few years ago. Green, like Sweetney, may actually be the better player more valuable to his team, but the press and coverage will go to Gay as it did to Bell (plus a tourney bid helped).
GO HOYAS!!

I actually like another comparison better. Although they were never the same year, Lonny Baxter always got more attention than Sweets, even though Sweetney was always the better and more valuable player.
