Mavericks guard Josh Green set for a make-or-break season

Josh Green's initial seasons in the NBA have been marked by inconsistent performances, leaving some fans underwhelmed.

However, some hope was renewed this past summer as he played in the FIBA World Cup for his native country, Australia, where he averaged 8.2 points and 2.0 rebounds per game, ultimately shooting 52 percent from the field.

Green's international play is not the only source of support for his crucial season. His national teammate, Josh Giddey, has gone a step further by boldly predicting that Green will secure the Most Improved Player award this year.

Giddey's vote of confidence in Green's growth and abilities adds even more excitement to the mix and gives fans some confidence going forward. With such high expectations from both teammates, fans, and, the front office, it's increasingly clear that Josh Green is due for a make-or-break season.

We can acknowledge the rollercoaster of expectations set by the fanbase, as it sets the stage for Green to have a breakout year.

Whether he claims the award of Most Improved Player or not, we will be eager to see if Green can have a bigger impact than before, as he competes for a starting spot, en route to hopefully becoming a bigger piece for this franchise.

Dallas has until October 23 to extend Green's contract. It's clear that Green wants to re-sign with Dallas, but it is unclear what Dallas' plans are as that date quickly approaches.

We'll have you covered with all the latest news and rumors on the Dallas Mavericks and Josh Green this season, so stay tuned.
