Oklahoma City Thunder’s Jeff Green playing solid, but needs to shoot better
Jeff Green has been having a decent season for the Oklahoma City Thunder this year, but he has struggled with his outside shot. After shooting a career high 45% from the field and 39% from three last season, he is only hitting 43% from the field and an ice-cold 29% from three-point land. Green is an active and athletic player, and is averaging 14.0 points, 6.1 rebounds, 1.7 assists, and 1.0 steals. His point-per-game average is down 2.5 points from last season though, and his poor outside shooting is the reason why. Green does a lot of things well for the Thunder and is third on the team in scoring (behind Durant and Westbrook), but if he could find some more consistency with his outside shot it will help spread the defense and make things a lot easier for Kevin Durant. Durant often has to put so much of the scoring burden on himself, and if he has an off night the Thunder are almost guaranteed to lose. If he could just get a little more help from guys like Green it could help the Thunder take the next step and get themselves into the playoffs.
