Also, despite him not being a high usage player, Green’s impressive off-ball play, hustle and athleticism on putbacks has resulted in him placing in and 97th percentiles the past two seasons with Chicago in points per shot attempt, per Cleaning The Glass.

Percentiles are divided into deciles and individually ranked.
