High/Low Expectations: Bill Green
Bill Green #33 SG
Best case: If you asked 10 Sixers fans what the best case scenario for Bill Green would be, half of them would tell you 82 DNP-CD's, and the other half would tell you a couple hot shooting streaks off the bench. I think the best case scenario for Bill would be for him to play about 8 minutes of backup point guard until Jrue gets comfortable and go from there. Green is not a terrible of a defender, he can get on hot streaks, and carry the offense for a couple minutes. Was he the worst starter in the NBA last season? Probably, but that doesn't mean he can't still contribute.
Best case stats: 8 minutes or less, 43% shooting.
Worst case: Bill Green puts his magical spell on Eddie Jordan -- the same spell which forced Mo Cheeks and Tony DiLeo to play him an unacceptable amount of minutes. Green has something about him where coaches sacrifice their jobs just to make sure he's happy. Here's to hoping Jordan isn't effected.
Worst case stats: More than 15 minutes, and/ or less than 40% shooting.
P.S. To show how important Bill is to the team, I think he's the only Sixer who doesn't have a picture of him in the new uniforms up on the internet. Even Primoz Brezec has one.

Unfortunately.
I think ‘worst case’ is how it’s going to play out, at least for the beginning of the season. Hopefully Jrue wins EJ over sooner rather than later.
I think the magical spell has already been casted
especially when some of the players mentioned him as one of the leaders on the team.
I didnt vote cause I dont like the choices. They dont really say anything. I would expect him to do what he usually does, just off the bench instead. 20+ mins, 43%, 30% from 3, 10 pts, a couple dimes and boards.
Like Ive said before, Willie Green is a fine role player. Less than 8 minutes would be retarded. He doesnt do anything great, but he can do it all pretty capably. At least he pretty much always makes the right decisions. The result isnt always pretty, but its not like hes chucking up 3s for no reason, Sweet Lou style. Hes one of the only true guards on the roster and I think hell fit into the PO well.
I don’t think I can have lower expectations for Willie Green – I expect him to be one of the worst players based on comparable minutes played in the NBA
Don't frack with me or you'll get a punch in the kidneys...you've been warned
