The 6-8, freakishly athletic Gerald Green came to Minnesota from Boston in the KG trade, fresh off his 2nd year in the NBA out of Houston's Gulf Shores Academy H.S. Last season, Green averaged 10.4 ppg and 2.6 rpg in 22.0 minutes, and perhaps most notably, won the 2007 slam dunk contest at the All-Star game with some ridiculous jams. On the other hand, Wolves coaches have been impressed with Green's pure jump shot.
Drafted with the 18th overall pick in the first round of the 2005 NBA Draft by Boston, Green averaged 5.2 ppg and 1.3 rpg as a rookie a year after scoring a game-high 24 points on 8-for-12 shooting at the McDonald's All-American All-Star Game as a senior in high school. He was also the MVP of the Reebok ABCD Camp.
Green is a huge fan of "screw" music out of his hometown, Houston, and has three dogs named Joker, Pluto and Reeses. He loves to fish and bowl, enjoys the movie "Faceoff" and the TV show "Martin."GREEN'S NUMBERS
