UNDER APPRECIATED

To many, the Oklahoma City Thunder is all about Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, but as far as Etan Thomas of the Atlanta Hawks is concerned, the team won’t be as strong as they were in the present without forward Jeff Green’s contributions. Thomas, who played for the Thunder last season, feels that Green is one of the most under appreciated forwards in the league, but in fact is one of the most effective at the three and four positions, according to HoopsHype.com.

“Green, in my opinion, is under appreciated and is an integral part of the Thunder success. He doesn’t complain about shots, or touches, or lack of accolades or praise. He just goes out there and does his job. He is too quick for most power forwards and too strong for most small forwards.”
