Josh Green was born in Sydney, Australia to a basketball family and played one season at Arizona before Dallas drafted him 18th in 2020. He developed into a 3-and-D role player and reached the 2024 NBA Finals with the Mavericks.
Traded to Charlotte in 2024, he is a perimeter defender and improving spot-up shooter — around 39% from three in 2024-25 — whose value is defense and floor spacing. A two-time Olympian for Australia's Boomers, he won a bronze medal at the 2020 Tokyo Games.

Green comes from a dual-heritage basketball family — his Australian mother played semi-professionally and his American-born father played college and pro ball in Australia — and rose through Sydney and U.S. prep academies. He is a core member of Australia's Boomers, winning Olympic bronze in Tokyo and representing his country in Paris.
His on-court identity is 3-and-D wing play — an athletic 6-foot-6 perimeter defender who moves well off the ball and has developed a reliable spot-up three (around 39% in 2024-25). Not a high-volume creator, his value is defense, transition athleticism, and floor spacing; his availability, after a shoulder surgery, is the variable to watch.

3-and-D wing value
Green's value is 3-and-D wing play — an athletic 6-foot-6 perimeter defender who moves off the ball and has developed a reliable spot-up three (around 39% in 2024-25). That defense-and-spacing profile, plus transition athleticism, gives Charlotte a useful role player and Olympic-tested competitor.
Health the variable
Not a high-volume creator, Green's role is specific — defend, space, and run the floor. A shoulder surgery affected his availability, making health the key variable; when on the floor, his defense, athleticism, and improving shooting make him a solid rotation wing whose value tracks with his three-point consistency.
