By his sophomore season (2012-13), Green demonstrated all-around skills by posting 14.6 points, 8.1 rebounds, 2.1 steals and 0.7 blocks across 27.7 minutes per game. During both his junior and senior seasons, he led the Big South in steals and was top three in rebounds. He then played three seasons overseas, first with CB Marin Peixegalego of the Spanish third division, LEB Plata. That led to two seasons with Pallacanestro Trieste of the Italian second division, Serie A2 Basket.

Bought out, joining Cleveland
FCleveland Cavaliers
February 19, 2025
Greens agreed to a buyout with the Pelicans on Wednesday and is expected to sign with the Cavaliers upon clearing waivers, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS Green inked a one-year deal with the Pelicans in August and appeared in 50 games this season, including 18 starts. He averaged 5.8 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.1 steals across 21.8 minutes. Once he clears waivers and finalizes a deal with Cleveland, he'll fill a depth role on the wing and at forward for the Cavaliers. He'll likely struggle to approach the playing time he had been receiving with the Pelicans, however, as he'll have to compete with the likes of Max Strus, Sam Merrill, Isaac Okoro (shoulder) and De'Andre Hunter for minutes off the bench.

2022 Fantasy Outlook
Coming off a surprisingly strong rookie season, Green looks set for a regression given the Bulls' roster construction and seemingly healthy player pool. Thanks to injuries, Green carved out a consistent role for himself during 2021-22, logging almost 24 minutes per night. He averaged 7.2 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.0 steals, shooting 54 percent from the floor and 83 percent from the line. While a season such as that could usually result in an increased role, the addition of Goran Dragic needs to be factored in, as does the health of both Lonzo Ball and Alex Caruso. All three players are likely to be ahead of Green in the rotation, so while he has a proven track record, the sophomore could very well find himself struggling to play more than 15 minutes per night. As of where things stand, he is not a name worth considering across the bulk of fantasy leagues.

With New Orleans sitting in 14th place in the Western Conference with an 11-32 record, the Pelicans could be sellers at the deadline. In 38 appearances this season, Green has averages of 6.2 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 0.8 three-pointers on 46.9 percent shooting from the field.
