Josh Green · Said to have been brought into the Charlotte Hornets’ rotation slowly until he could fully rediscover his rhythm, Josh Green needed only a lightning-quick first step to leave both rust — and the Atlanta Hawks’ defense — in the dust behind. Orchestrator of a quietly-exhilarating highlight reel during his four-year reign in the Wild West, Green gets urgent in compiling clips in the purple-and-teal, outspeeding Garrison Matthews in a footrace down the sideline. Athletic enough to take flight from one side of the paint, only to end up on the other by play’s end, Green smoothly works an acrobatic, around-the-rim reverse over Onyeka Okongwu’s wingspan, capturing a dazzling score. Atlanta would conquer the shorthanded Hornets in a high-scoring back-and-forth affair on October 25, 2024. Green, though, offered plenty to appreciate during his 18-minute cameo, tossing in five points, three rebounds, two assists, one steal, one block, and one 3-pointer. · State of Mint · State of Mint
