Season to date thoughts...

Right but Green plays bigger, is WAY more athletic/explosive, etc.

I was watching the pregame on right before the Bulls/Cavaliers game and one of the questions was why does Green kick so much. The consensus around the table was that he is small and not very athletic and gets by on hustle and grit. He kicks because as he jumps he needs one good leg to land on.

Interestingly Lydon's stats in college so far are a lot better than Green's were, especially at blocking shots. Green didn't become great on D until he was in the league and Green was never known for his explosiveness at MSU. He was a back to the basket post player.

Yeah, he lost about 20 pounds and totally changed his game, the turnaround time on all of that was remarkable.
