Is Jeff Green overpayed or underplayed? Poll Question


Well I have recently been called out by Jeff, I will attempt to shout my opinion more often because I will admit I an a LURKER. So here goes:

I think that everyone so upset with the high contract for Green is wrong. I think with the minutes he plays he is a very productive player and if he got to start nobody would whine about how big his gamecheck is. While he is very versatile and can defend the 3,4 and sometimes 5 position, offensively he NEEDS to play the 3. I would never think Pierce would enjoy coming off the bench and I wouldn't want him to unless his production declined dramatically, but if Green started I think he would be in the 20-24 pt range with a handful of rebounds (including a couple monstrous dunks). I am just partial to Green and think people have been way too hard on the kid. He is an amazingly athletic player and we should expect more consistency from him. But we must remember at the beginning of the season he was coming off a YEAR away from hoops to heal from heart surgery, so with that being said, I think his play was FINE. It can take a while to get back into a groove and he was playing his way back into shape. Also I think Doc Rivers could do a better job of encouraging him to get to the line and the second unit should try to run the offense through him. Anyway here is my rant on my lunchbreak, please comment I want to hear what Celticsnation has to say. God bless guys.
