Scout Report
The gym goes quiet when a 6-9 sophomore starts handling the ball in transition like a guard half his size. That's been the scene at Mt. Zion Prep this season, where coaches have been scrambling to figure out how to defend a power forward who refuses to play like one.
Background
Growing up in Camden, New Jersey, Green learned basketball on courts where creativity matters more than textbook fundamentals. His family moved him to Mt. Zion Prep to refine his raw talent alongside elite competition. The program has become a pipeline for Division I prospects, and Green fits perfectly into their up-tempo system. Playing with high-level teammates like Emmanuel Kanga and Jacob Canton has accelerated his development and exposed him to college-level intensity daily.
Playing Style
Green operates as a modern stretch four who can initiate offense from multiple spots on the floor. He's comfortable bringing the ball up court in transition and has the court vision to find teammates in advantageous positions. His decision-making shows maturity beyond his years, rarely forcing shots or trying to do too much. Defensively, he uses his length to disrupt passing lanes and can switch across multiple positions without getting lost. The motor runs hot on both ends, constantly moving without the ball and crashing the boards with purpose. He affects winning through basketball IQ as much as physical tools.
Strengths
The combination of size and ball skills creates matchup nightmares for opposing coaches. Green can stretch the floor with legitimate three-point range while also attacking closeouts with strong drives to the rim. His passing ability from the forward position opens up offensive sets that most teams aren't equipped to defend. The rebounding instincts are advanced, with soft hands that secure tough catches in traffic and the awareness to start fast breaks immediately.
Areas to Watch
Adding strength to his frame will be crucial for handling physical college power forwards who try to bump him off spots. His shot selection can be inconsistent when the offense stagnates, occasionally settling for difficult looks instead of creating better opportunities. Developing a more reliable post game would give him another dimension when teams take away his perimeter skills.
Player Comparison
Think of a young Lamar Stevens from Penn State but with better perimeter skills and court vision. Both players have that versatile forward build with the ability to guard multiple positions and contribute in various ways. Green has more natural playmaking ability than Stevens showed early in his college career, but Stevens' physicality and defensive intensity represent where Green could develop.
Recruitment
With 14 Division I offers already in hand, Green sits in an enviable position for a 2027 prospect. Programs like Kansas State, Maryland, and Michigan represent the high-major level interest that reflects his national ranking. The mix of mid-major and high-major offers gives him options across different competitive levels. Expect his recruitment to intensify significantly after his junior season, with final decisions likely coming during the late signing period in 2026.
Projection
Green projects as a versatile role player who could develop into a starter at the high-major level with continued development. His ceiling depends on how much strength he adds and whether his shooting consistency improves against elite competition. Professional basketball isn't out of the question if he maximizes his physical tools and continues developing his skill set through college.
