While the Bucks front office debates million-dollar decisions and complex roster moves after the December cut-off, their simplest call is staring them right in the face. AJ Green's extension should be a formality at this point.
This isn't about imagined potential anymore. The evidence has been staring us in the face all season long, and the undeniable fact is that Green has already shown he belongs. The kid defends at an NBA level, spaces the floor exactly how modern basketball demands, and doesn't need the ball in his hands to impact winning. Add to that the fact that he can make tough shots over elite defenders (just look at his highlight shot on Victor Wembanyama), and it's clear he's followed the blueprint for role players who last a decade in this league.
