Van Green gives Rice a steady, low-usage guard who brings experience and defensive activity
Van Green is more of a connector than a scorer: in the 2024-25 season at Rice, he played in all 32 games with nine starts and averaged 3.0 points, 2.2 rebounds, and 14 assists, showing he can stay on the floor and contribute without needing the ball. He looks like a fit for teams that value reliability, toughness, and guard depth over volume offense, though his modest scoring output means his impact is more about structure, defense, and making the right play than carrying a lineup.[5][4]
