Not a really good player but a player who knows his role. And he does it well. But Green is an athletic scorer as the Celtics move forward is what they'll need with Rondo and eventually not the big 3 who continue to age.

Jeff Green is like a soft version of Bobby Dandridge
Perkins will be a valuable piece for Oklahoma when Howard signs with LA after next year.
