Strengths

Green wasn’t nearly as efficient as he was last season, but that doesn’t mean he couldn’t get hot in a hurry.

Green had 12 games in which he scored at least 20 points, though nearly half of them came in the first month of the season.

He maintained the ability to change the course of multiple games with either a mind-bending dunk or a barrage from beyond the arc.

Out of everyone who came off the bench for at least 60 games, Green was fourth in made three-pointers.

Green only had dunks on the season, but the high flyer delivered on all of them.

Phoenix went on to finish the game on a 33-13 run. While it’s grossly manipulative to cite that dunk as the sole reason for the comeback, it definitely didn’t hurt the cause.

His electricity wasn’t confined to US Airways either. In fact, he was actually better across the board on the road.

The generous interpretation of that being, he stepped up when his team needed him most. Since we’re on strengths, let’s go with that!
