Not the Right Time for Jeff Green

A couple of amazing games happened in the past 2 weeks for the Celtics. The first being an amazing win over the Heat and the second being an amazing loss to the Bobcats .....however throughout this season one positive thing stands out and that's Jeff Green. He is averaging almost 18 points a game and is shooting over 40% from three, he has quietly emerged as a very good player for this Celtics team. So Jeff Green's emergence is a good thing right? wrong! Unfortunately for us Celtics fans Green is just now performing like everyone had hoped he would when they traded for him, except their is no Paul Pierce or KG playing with him. Green's excellent play has come too late for the Celtics and Green is now stuck playing alongside the likes of Kelly Olynyk and Jared Sullinger. The only thing worse then thinking about Green's great play coming too late is thinking that his great play also in a way has come too early. No one expects this Celtics team to be a playoff contender this year and they likely wont be for 3-5 years. Therefore the next time the Celtics are legitimately contending Jeff Green will be in his early thirties and will have his best days behind him. Green is an above average wingman in the NBA right now, but the prime of his career undoubtedly has occurred at the worst possible time for the Celtics.
