## College career at Alabama
Green spent four seasons at the University of Alabama, starting 114 of 123 games. His scoring and rebounding were consistent throughout: 10.3 points and 7.6 rebounds per game as a freshman in 2008-09, a career-best 15.5 points and 7.5 rebounds in 2010-11, and 14.0 points and 7.4 rebounds in his final season of 2011-12, when he shot 54.6% from the field.[1](https://www.nba.com/player/203210/jamychal-green) He attempted almost no three-pointers in college, finishing with 17.6% shooting on 0.1 attempts per game for his career.[1](https://www.nba.com/player/203210/jamychal-green)
## G League, France, and the first NBA deal
After going undrafted in 2012, Green played in the [NBA G League](https://www.edgepedia.org/nba-g-league) for the Austin Toros/Spurs (2012-13 and 2014-15) and in France for Chorale Roanne before reaching the NBA.[4](https://www.nba.com/grizzlies/news/grizzlies-sign-jamychal-green-to-multi-year-contract-170927) His G League career averages were 15.8 points and 9.0 rebounds per game.[5](https://gleague.nba.com/player/203210)
The January 2015 call-up came after a strong run with the [San Antonio](https://www.edgepedia.org/san-antonio)-affiliated Austin Spurs, where he recorded four consecutive double-doubles while averaging 26.0 points and 12.0 rebounds over that span, and contributed 22 points and 15 rebounds at the D-League Showcase. RealGM analyst Cameron Schott, who covers the G League, described him in a scouting report as a slightly undersized but long-armed 6-foot-9, 220-pound power forward, an effective pick-and-pop shooter who was hitting 48.4% (46 of 95) from 16 to 24 feet and 66.1% inside 8 feet, and a rebounder averaging 10.7 per game, eighth in the D-League.[3](https://basketball.realgm.com/analysis/236312/Scouting-Report-JaMychal-Green) Green signed a 10-day contract with the Spurs and made his NBA debut on January 18, 2015.[2](https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/g/greenja01.html) • [3](https://basketball.realgm.com/analysis/236312/Scouting-Report-JaMychal-Green)
## NBA career
**Memphis.** Green's NBA career took hold in Memphis. In September 2017, Grizzlies general manager [Chris Wallace](https://www.edgepedia.org/chris-wallace) announced that the team had signed Green to a multi-year contract.[4](https://www.nba.com/grizzlies/news/grizzlies-sign-jamychal-green-to-multi-year-contract-170927) His 2018 season paid $8,533,333, the largest single salary of his career.[2](https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/g/greenja01.html)
**Los Angeles Clippers and Denver.** Green later joined the [Los Angeles Clippers](https://www.edgepedia.org/los-angeles-clippers), where his 2018-19 season included 8.7 points and 6.5 rebounds per game with 41.3% shooting on three-pointers across 24 games.[1](https://www.nba.com/player/203210/jamychal-green) With Denver, team coverage described him as a classic frontcourt player capable of matching up against bigger, physical forwards and centers, and projected that his defensive rebounding would help a Nuggets weakness despite the team's elite offensive rebounding.[6](https://www.nba.com/nuggets/news/what-jamychal-green-adds-nuggets-113020) By the time of Denver's 2021-22 media guide, his NBA career averages stood at 8.1 points and 6.0 rebounds in 21.6 minutes over 420 games with 157 starts.[7](https://kseblobstorage.blob.core.windows.net/sitefiles/pdf/DN_MediaGuide_2122_Digital.pdf)
**Golden State.** Green signed with the [Golden State Warriors](https://www.edgepedia.org/golden-state-warriors) as a free agent on August 1, 2022.[8](https://cdn.nba.com/teams/uploads/sites/1610612744/2022/10/Golden_State_Warriors_2022_23_Media_Guide.pdf) In his 2022-23 season there, at age 33, he played 57 games with 1 start, averaging 6.4 points and 3.6 rebounds in 14.0 minutes while shooting 54.0% from the field and 37.8% on three-pointers.[1](https://www.nba.com/player/203210/jamychal-green) Basketball-[Reference](https://www.edgepedia.org/reference) records 2023 as his last NBA season, with no championships won.[2](https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/g/greenja01.html)
## Playing style
Green's game is built around frontcourt versatility without primary ballhandling. The 2015 scouting report identified him as a pick-and-pop power forward who does not create his own shot off the bounce, a limitation that ties him to the four position, but one who converts efficiently as a roller and popper and shows good instincts on both backboards.[3](https://basketball.realgm.com/analysis/236312/Scouting-Report-JaMychal-Green) His NBA career reflects that profile: a career 7.7 points per game on role-player minutes, with rebounding (5.5 per game) as his second contribution, and three-point shooting that developed from a negligible college factor into a regular part of his professional game, peaking at 41.3% with the Clippers in 2018-19.[1](https://www.nba.com/player/203210/jamychal-green) • [2](https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/g/greenja01.html)
