Opening his season, Greene averaged 26.5 points and four rebounds in his first two games, continuing his dominance from the previous season and once again filling the role of leadership, which is helpful for the team’s youth. 

Greene, even with the dominance he has brought to the team so far in the season, needed to ensure that he could do one very important thing before he could become the team’s top scorer: be on the court. 

A stress fracture earlier in the season sidelined the redshirt junior for a few weeks, preventing him from stepping onto the court. 

“You’ll just see him going through a lot of ups and downs in his career to finally see some more of those ups, and his hard work and perseverance really paying off,” said Ryan Aquino, the men’s basketball head coach. “You’re just happy for a kid like that.”

Greene began his collegiate career with GCSU and has continued to develop into the dominant force on the court he is with each passing year. 

“You know, he came in as a shooter, and he’s really developed other parts of his game being able to get to the hoop,” Aquino said.

When looking deeper into the numbers, Aquino is proven correct. At the same time, Greene has put up impressive shooting performances, as he has improved even more in that department throughout his GCSU career. 

“I feel like I had a pretty good start to the season,” Greene said. “There’s always room to improve, a lot to work on, you know. I watch a lot of film. I try to go back after every game and try to see what I can do to be better.”

Greene has also improved in other areas, such as rebounds, which have increased from his career average of 1.3 to a whopping 3.7 this season. His 19.8 points per game and .429 shooting percentage behind the three-point line lead the team.

“I think he’s developed, you know, maturity as well,” Aquino said. “It’s been fun to see and get to know him on and off the court. I’ve enjoyed working with that.”

As his career continues at GCSU, Greene does not look like he will be slowing down on the court. However, some believe that mental skills in basketball are better than physical ones. Nevertheless, Greene’s mindset may be one of the best.

“I just try to play hard ‘cause you know, when you play hard, everything else comes,” Greene said. “The ball will find you.”

In the team’s most recent game against Southern Wesleyan, a 91-80 Bobcat win, the ball did find Greene as he pushed past his game average in points, shooting for 23 and knocking down four three-pointers in turn. 

Even more impressive, Greene put up these numbers coming off the bench, leading the team in points.

While it was not a spotless game for the Bobcats, fouling 28 times, Greene was a bright spot throughout the entirety of the contest.

Only time will tell if Greene’s dominance will maintain consistency, but it will be hard to find somebody betting against him based on his season so far.
