2024 Fantasy Outlook
Green underwent surgery on June 20 to address instability in his left shoulder, and it's still uncertain whether he'll be ready to play on Opening Night. Even when he's ready to roll, he's not expected to play a significant role for the Hornets and is likely to be an option off the bench in 2025-26. Green averaged 7.4 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.6 assists and a career-high 1.1 steals per game across 68 regular-season appearances (67 starts) in 2024-25. However, the addition of rookie Kon Knueppel and veteran Collin Sexton, combined with the expected return of both Grant Williams and Brandon Miller to full health, will not only shift Green to a second-unit role but also limit his overall minutes. He might have some streaming upside in deep formats, but as a bench piece in a rebuilding team, his upside is certainly limited for 2025-26. Fantasy managers should look at other options in the latter stages of any draft outside of Green. Read Past Outlooks

Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

Green was born Nov. 16, 2000 in Sydney, New South Wales. He was born to Australian mother Cahla and American-born father Delmas. Green began playing basketball at five years old, in suburban Syndey, when his mother began coaching him. Green also played Australian rules football, track athletics, rugby, soccer and swimming. By the time he was 10 years old, he had been selected to represent his home state in nine separate sports. Green loved playing Australian rules football. In November 2014, he and his family moved to Phoenix, Arizona. After impressing at his first American High School, Mountain Ridge, he transferred to IMG Academy in Florida, where he became a five-star draft prospect. During the final game of Green's high school career, he led IMG to a national title and was named MVP of the championship game. For college, he went to Arizona. After averaging 12.0 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.5 steals as a freshman, Green declared for the 2020 NBA Draft. Green started all 30 games he appeared in during his first and only collegiate season with Arizona. He put his scoring prowess on display right off the bat, scoring 22 points in the second game of the season against Illinois. Not long afterward, he set a career high with 24 points Nov. 28 against Pepperdine. He averaged 12.0 PPG when it was all said and done, which was bolstered by his outside shooting -- 36.1 percent from beyond the arc. The 6-6 guard was also capable on the defensive end, averaging 1.5 steals per contest, which was good for sixth in the Pac-12. He also had the fourth-best defensive plus/minus in the conference. Green and the Wildcats had done enough to earn an NCAA Tournament berth, but the event was ultimately canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. He officially entered the 2020 NBA Draft in early-April.

FCharlotte Hornets
January 16, 2026
Green provided zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 14 minutes during Thursday's 135-117 victory over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Green wasn't able to find the bottom of the net and remains miles off the fantasy radar in Charlotte. He's played just 16.5 minutes per contest over his last 11 outings and is shooting 37.8 percent from the field in that span.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
It took some time for Green to establish a role in Dallas last season, but he shined in the final months of the year. The 22-year-old wing started the final two months of his rookie season, averaging 10.5 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.4 steals and 1.3 threes on 52 percent from the field and 38 percent from three-point range. Green also played nearly 30 minutes a night in that span, doing most of that damage when either Luka Doncic or Kyrie Irving was sidelined. That's the one unfortunate thing about playing for the Mavericks because it'll be tough for anyone else on this roster to be fantasy-relevant as long as those two are healthy. There's simply too much usage swallowed up by those superstars. With that said, this team needs shooters, and Green should be one of them. There's some thought that either Green or Tim Hardaway will start at the small forward position, but Hardaway looks like the preferred option in the early going. If that's the case, Green will have a hard time playing more than 25 minutes off of the bench, making him tough to trust from a fantasy perspective. He is just one injury away from falling into relevance, though, and he makes for an interesting waiver wire add if something happens to one of those studs.
Green's role with the Mavericks grew slightly in 2021-22, with the second-year forward averaging 4.8 points, 2.4 boards and 1.2 assists while logging 15.5 minutes per contest. He doubled his shot attempts from beyond the arc in his sophomore season and knocked them down at a more consistent 35.9 percent clip -- much more stomachable than the 16.0 percent he posted in limited attempts as a rookie. Nevertheless, Green's per-game output ranks him well out of the range of most fantasy formats, and his per-36 rank checked in at 269th, which also falls off most radars. Barring a significant increase in playing time, which is highly unlikely, Green figures to remain off draft boards in all but the deepest of leagues.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Won't be ready for camp
FCharlotte Hornets
September 20, 2025
Green will not be cleared in time for the start of training camp, Roderick Boone of the Charlotte Observer reports.
ANALYSIS
Green had shoulder surgery in June to address instability in his left shoulder. Similar to Grant Williams, he does not yet have a timetable for a full return and likely won't be available for Charlotte's first game. When healthy, Green projects as more of a bench/rotation wing rather than a starter, especially given the Hornets' newfound depth at wing. His fantasy upside was already pretty low due to a minor usage rate, and the crowded wing rotation won't do him any favors.
