And in Green’s case, more does not mean money. “I love Olympiacos and I miss them but I just wanted a bigger role on a team and wanted to show more than what I was able to show”, explained the talented combo-guard. “I can’t wait for Spain, I’m excited and I want to be a part of that team. Let’s see how far we can go and build on what was achieved by Valencia last season”.

Green believes that he will not having any problem fitting in: “I don’t think it will be more difficult than usual. They already have a great team and we just need to build from there and keep getting better. We have to try and win the Liga Endesa title again next year. I’m just ready to show everyone what I can do on a night in, night out base”.

The bottom line is simple. Green wants to showcase his game and he believes that Valencia is the right spot for him to do so: “I want to be able to just play my game, make plays and score the ball. I’ve been working really hard this summer and I am exited to finally be able to go somewhere and just be myself. I want to show everyone what I can do with a bigger role”.
