I am very satisfied with the team we are putting together, as I know some players and know that they are very talented," Green said. "I see myself as a leader and a winner. I think I am a better player now that I was when I last played in Spain because, among other things, I got used to the European basketball style. I love to get my teammates involved and consider myseld aggressive on both ends of the floor."
