Beyond the game

Green is the definition of earning it: lightly recruited, he became the first Radford player ever to reach an NBA game, and the school retired his No. 2 jersey in 2021. His path ran through four European pro leagues before he broke into the NBA at 26 — the kind of grind that forges a reputation for professionalism and selflessness.

A father of three, he's built a decade-long career on the traits that don't show up in scouting hype: deflections, hustle rebounds, tough shot contests, and the versatility to guard multiple positions. As one outlet put it, his approach has 'quietly earned respect' in the Detroit locker room — the connective, energy role every deep team needs.
