Beyond the game

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.
