Josh Green

Green is a high-energy Australian wing who makes his living on defense and movement rather than shot creation. The Sydney native and Arizona one-and-done went 18th to Dallas in 2020, carving out a role as a point-of-attack defender and opportunistic cutter alongside Luka Doncic before a 2024 trade sent him to Charlotte. His game runs on effort: he hounds ball-handlers, plays bigger than his frame in passing lanes, and thrives in transition and as a connective off-ball mover. The knock has always been a dependable jumper, which is what makes his 2025-26 season notable — after shoulder surgery cost him the first stretch of the year, he returned to shoot a career-best clip from three, exactly the swing skill that would let him stick as a rotation 3-and-D wing.
