Jeff Green has been, by Cleveland’s standards, fantastic this season. From going to minimal bench production to several of their key offensive producers being on the bench, the Cleveland Cavaliers have finally been able to equally distribute the scoring, for the most part. Green and several others have been able to completely flip the dynamic of this team from the second unit.
Although, for the most part, Green’s role has been inconsistent, even though the starting forwards have not suffered any injuries. Following the game against the Houston Rockets, where Green logged 27 points and single-handedly helped them come back from 18+ with a monster 20 point second quarter, I thought Green’s role might have finally solidified as the go-to bench option for Cleveland.
