That really is a new mentality for Donté … though this isn't the first time we've heard Westphal say that Greene's future in the NBA is on defense. He said it at the start of Summer League. I figured five games in Vegas plus a week of watching informal work-outs and two days of full-on practices and scrimmages would make Westphal change his mind.

I'm glad he hasn't. Greene overflows with energy, athleticism and length. Add defensive skills, and you could very well have a stopper. I look forward to seeing the new Donté in action next week.
