Green and his posse, should they notice this article and bother to read it, will probably take some pleasure from his being ranked ahead of #6 Portland Trailblazers pick Martell Webster.
Key blurb:
1. Gerald Green, Boston Celtics/Fayetteville Patriots
Per game averages: 12.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.6 assists
Green was the first rookie out of high school sent to the D-League, and during his time spent in Roanoke, has shown promise as an NBA player. Though too skinny to play in the NBA right now, Green has been very unselfish, and concentrated on the smaller aspects of his game that need work. People know that Gerald can score, but he has worked on his defense, and improved his passing ability while not forcing anything on offense. To reach his all-star potential, Gerald Green will need to stay in the weight room, and continue to develop his understanding of the NBA game. All the tools are certainly there.

I love the idea of players being sent to the developmental league. I've maintained for a long time that each NBA team should have a farm team where their draft picks go to play and develop. I think that would help players like Perkins and Jeffersons -- and also keep them hungry for the ultimate payoff, which is of course PT in the NBA.
Roanoke?
Yay, beats me. Assume he meant to write 'Fayetteville' but who knows. Perhaps there's a Roanoke nearby where the team practices?
