Tracking the Preaux Career of Orien Greene

Interesting. They refer to Green as coming from a "smaller college". If I were this writer, I might think the same thing of a hyphenated school like Louisiana-Lafayette. Further evidence of the quagmire our name has gotten us into.

Yeah, "smaller college", unlike Gonzaga and St. Joseph's! I know... both the 'Zags and St. Joe's have more national recogniton than UL, but come on!

Geaux Orien!

Until now, Greene had not made much of a name for himself outside his hometown of Gainesville, Fla., and Lafayette, La., where he played his final two seasons of college ball with the Ragin' Cajuns. Even Greene admits he was ''off the radar" when Boston selected him at No. 53 in the 2005 draft. So, it's easy to understand how people saw Greene as some other NBA player. But with his consistently solid play at point guard during the exhibition season, Greene is gaining notice in Boston and around the league. When Pierce was asked whom he thought deserved extra attention for what he does in practice and games, the captain named Greene without hesitation. After all, Greene has almost single-handedly changed the complexion of the competition at point guard. By making smart passes and pressuring the ball, Greene has become a candidate to back up presumed starter Delonte West. In 12.8 minutes per game, Greene is averaging 2.3 assists and 1.3 steals. When extrapolated over 48 minutes, Greene would lead the team in both categories with almost 10 assists and 5 steals per contest. Asked to gauge his chances of being the backup point guard this season, Greene said, ''Hopefully, one day. I'm just taking it one day at a time and doing what the coaches are asking me to do. It builds my confidence to know that [Doc Rivers] has trust in me and has faith in me to go out and show what I can do and go out and run this team." The rest of the story By Shira Springer Globe

I truly believe Mr. Green will be a great player for the Celtics in the years to come...

O is going to be a great NBA player there is no doubt about that. Also the the better he gets the better it is for recruiting in the program.

Tonight versus the Nets, Orien was given a lot of playing time...In 37 minutes Orien had 7 Assists, 1 Turnover, 2 Rebounds, 10 points, and 2 steals. His FG was 3-8 and FT was 4-5. It will be great to see him after playing while in game condition. It should be noted that while with us he played with a fracture in his foot and he has only just recently healed from the surgery to repair the fracture. Awsome...Hopefully he'll be back to help our recruiting and also bring attention to UL's basketball program. Now all we need is for Tyras to find some success on this side of the pond.
