    Will Jeff Green live up to his contract?

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but Jeff Green is signed to a 4 year, 36 million dollar contract. That's 9/year.

    Will he live up to his contract?
    Five rounds went by in the 2000 draft... After 198 other players had been chosen, the Patriots drafted him in the sixth round.
    Owner Robert Kraft recalls the night he was leaving the old Foxboro Stadium when he saw "this skinny beanpole" carrying a pizza. "He comes up and says, 'Mr. Kraft, I'm Tom Brady.' I said, 'I know who you are, you're our sixth-round draft choice from Michigan.' "And he looked me right in the eye and he said, 'and I'm the best decision this organization has ever made.' "

    Too soon to tell. He was probably a little over payed when he signed the contract but that's the new norm in today's NBA.

    I hope so, kids got talent. His consistency is his biggest issue in my opinion.

    I don't think so he's a solid player who has some good moments though.

    Gawd no. He's not a 10 million dollar player (or 9 million). He's a borderline starter in this league. I don't think that warrants 9 million a year. And he isn't that efficient a scorer. He's not a great rebounder. He's not a great player maker. He's an average shooter at best. I mean... I was quite surprised to see him get that big of a deal to be honest.

    He's a great guy to have coming off the bench, but he frankly doesn't bring the kind of impact to the floor that I would expect of a 9million dollar player.

    I mean, he's been in the league 4 or 5 years now and hasn't shown any real improvement from his sophmore season. By 26 years of age I expect some sort of improvement. Most players have reached their full potential by that age.

    i say no, green has always been overrated and than coming off a serious heart surgery, not a good move for the Celts.

    A young Marvin Williams: Both nice guys, high picks, but will only frustrate you so it's best to just lower your expectations and ignore the massive contracts given because the front offices wouldn't admit they made a mistake.
