Josh Green is an Australian basketball player who currently plays for the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA. The Mas drafted Green with the 18th pick in the first round of the 2020 NBA Draft. Ever since his arrival, he has been used as an instant impact player coming off the Mavericks' bench.
Green is a prototype role player who can play both sides of the court efficiently. His ability to play off the ball and sink long balls makes him an invaluable asset. During his initial two seasons, Green wasn’t really part of the Mavericks’ plans but has now cemented himself as a pivotal role player off the bench.
Prior to the NBA, back in Australia, Green was a versatile athlete excelling in multiple sports, especially Australian rules football. He was so skilled in the sport that a couple of local clubs offered him a spot in their junior development programs which Green even accepted.
However, in November 2014, his family relocated to Phoenix, Arizona, due to his father's work commitments, and this shift led Green to leave Aussie football behind and send on a path that eventually brought him to the NBA.
Upon coming to the USA, Green developed his basketball skills and soon became a five-star recruit playing for the IMG academy in Florida. He had a breakout MVP performance in the GEICO Nationals Championship final game.
For college, Green played for the Arizona Wildcats, where he averaged 12.0 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.5 steals per game while shooting a respectable 36.1% from 3-point range. Green is unquestionably poised to play an integral role in the Mavericks' journey to success, serving as a crucial supporting player.
