Danny Green
Unrestricted / Shooting Guard / 6-6 / Team: San Antonio
It’s highly unlikely that San Antonio let’s Green walk, but with the possibility that both Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili will retire, it wouldn’t be a total surprise if the former UNC star sniffed the waters elsewhere. His sharpshooting ability, which is on a par with Durant and Anthony Morrow, would make this team more dangerous from the perimeter than ever before
Green is well-known for his three-point shooting (see his historic 2012-2013 shooting performance) but is not as highly recognized for his lockdown defense which tends to go under the radar. Like Matthews, Green would be a perfect fit for the starting two-guard position in Oklahoma City.
