Hi all, this is my first post here. Just wanted to share my thoughts on Gerald Green from my previous observations with the Phoenix Suns. I am another long term Suns fans who is going to root for the Miami Heat this season due to Goran Dragic and G Green.

I can see that many are a tad worried at which version of Green Miami is getting: Will he be the high scoring productive Green machine we saw in 2013-2014 season, or the one plagued with poor shot selection and defensive issues in the 2014-2015 season?

Here are some of my thoughts of how to make sure that you are getting the better version of Green:

1. Give Gerald Green the Green light to shoot. Green is a very good shooter, Miami should encourage him to take shots. If he feels appreciated and gets that confidence and support he needs, he tends to do much better. Bear with it if there are some poor shot selections sighted. You see, he is such an freakish athlete that there are hardly anyone that can block or alter his shots, thus whether the shots are defended ain't much of a concern to him compared to other regular shooters.

2. Give him crowd support and make him unconscious. When G Green gets himself excited and become unconscious, he will switch mode into an unstoppable Green machine that no one can stop. Seriously, no one.

3. Try not to let him make decisions. The main reason that with all his gifts, G Green just can't mature into a superstar player may have something to do with his basketball IQ. He can catch and shoot, cut and dunk, and play some one on one, but Miami should note that this guy isn't a good decision maker. You should not give him the ball too prematurely and expect him to make a smart pass. He is not a selfish player in my opinion, he did try to make plays on some occasions, but most of the time what he did will make you pull your hair. Treat him as a finisher, don't allow him much opportunity to bring the ball up court.

4. Last and not least, allow him more playing time with Goran Dragic. They play along pretty well in the past, and you need someone who understand his game and strength to bring out the best in Green. It's important to get him going early into the season and his confidence level will rocket. The Dragon will make him feel at home and help bring out the best version of G Green for Miami.
