13. Josh Green, Arizona

Current Strengths: Big, fast, and strong player who is versatile enough to excel as a 2 or a 3. One of the primer athletes in his class who also has an innate feel for the game. Excels in transition with his explosiveness. Green is exceptional at getting to the basket with an explosive first move to compliment his natural abilities. Green has extended his shooting range to the perimeter but like most of his peers, he will have to prove that he can consistently shoot the ball from deep. Should always be expected to be a plus defender and rebounder due to his combination of energy and physical profile.

Room for growth: Green is most comfortable in the full-court and will need to display the ability to consistently understand how to attack a set half-court defense. Green’s natural gifts are unquestioned, however, he will face the same questions of other supreme athletes whose raw abilities can compensate for their skill.
