Described by Evan Daniels as "arguably the most balanced point guard in the class," Green is a floor general that spreads the wealth, but he also scores it when he needs to. On more than one occasion at the Peach Jam, he took over in the final two minutes to carry his team to victory.
Green will draw comparisons to Tyler Ulis because of his size and his mentality, but Green does more of his dirty work near the rim. His EYBL highlights do an excellent job at demonstrating his skillset, showcasing his step-back jumper and his ability to take contact and finish.

Green will join Shai Gilgeous-Alexander in the 2017 backcourt, with P.J. Washington and Nick Richards in the frontcourt. Green could help Calipari add another elite prospect. Green is EYBL teammates with Cal's top target, power forward Mohamed Bamba, the No. 3 player in America.
