After missing out on signing All-Star forward Kawhi Leonard last summer, the Los Angeles Lakers quickly pivoted to adding high-quality role players to surround LeBron James and Anthony Davis.
One of their first additions was Danny Green, a highly-efficient shooting guard coming off of a championship season with the Toronto Raptors. The hope was that Green’s combination of shooting and versatile defense would make a formidable weapon alongside L.A.’s superstar duo.
However, Green has had an up-and-down season, leaving some fans frustrated with the sizable contract that he received. That said, Green’s game has always flown under the radar, and the advanced stats still project him to be one of the most impactful players on the team.
