Josh Green

After playing in Dallas for the first four years of his career, Green was traded to Charlotte during the offseason as part of the Klay Thompson deal. Despite a lack of offensive versatility, Green has been able to carve out a meaningful role for himself over the past two years. He finished with averages of 8.2 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.3 three-pointers in 26.4 minutes per game during the 2023-24 campaign. Now with the Hornets, Green could be in the discussion for a starting spot, potentially allowing him to play close to 30 minutes per game. However, playing alongside LaMelo Ball, Miles Bridges and Brandon Miller will do Green no favors in terms of offensive opportunities. While he will serve as a key defensive piece for a team desperately seeking an identity, that is unlikely to translate to consistent fantasy value. Based on what we have seen from him to this point in his career, Green is not worth drafting outside of deeper leagues.
