Wendell Green, Jr. appreciation thread

He's fun to watch. Plays very hard.

I love him too, and he runs the offense so much better than Zep because of his quickness. I do wish Green would see the big guys calling for the ball when they are in the paint and have cleared out their guy. I saw many times mismatches with Jabari and Kessler that Green simply didn't get them the ball.


Zep is our best defender out there, but his offense is almost nothing.

So pearl has to try and mix and match with them to get the most out of them.

He's a very important piece to our puzzle. Best ball handler on the team. His biggest drawback is his defense. Pinson absolutely abused him last night. Pinson either scored or got to the line every time when Green was guarding him.

I was rewatching the USCe game and thought to myself...I would love to see a fricking 10 on 10 no holds barred cage-match hoops game. Come on. Anyone - throw your best ten on the floor against any 10 CBP chooses.

AU's top ten would absolutely run any and every fricking other top ten off the court, embarrassed and in awe.

And as to NIL deals and all, though I have long been on record that Jabari goes 1st and Walker is waaay up there as well, .....what if could entice at least one of them back with whatever NIL deal it takes.

Can't we do that? Can we not compete to keep 1,2-3 key cogs at AU for next year with NIL? No idea how it works, but damn it would be sweet if someone gets that done.

War Eagle.

ETA Wendell Greene will always deserve a 5 point line.

I said this early in the season and I will say it again............he is the best PG we have had at Auburn in many years. (Harper included)

I’m no draft expert, but I don’t see him as a first rounder right now. There is potential he comes back.

"Wendell Green lets cameras know he's in a groove after this 3 Wendell Green let's the cameras know he's in a groove after he crosses over and uses a stepback move to cash out a deep 3-point shot."

You can see this clip under the Bruce Pearl Post Game interview.

I caught this last night and watched this clip to make sure I didn't mistake what happened ....Green is coming back to defend and brushing off his jersey ...Watch his right eye ....He winks at the camera.

If you ever play with a kid with this talent....you will get schooled and laugh about how talented he is. I played with one my Senior year ....He could do amazing things with a basketball in the paint. My job was to get the ball down the court and set up the offense ....I averaged 3 points a game ....But man ,,what a talented shooter Dobie was. I scored 10 one night, stole two during full court presses and hit three jump shots at the top of the key. Nothing but net. Coach called time and asked what I was doing ...
