In his freshman season at EKU, Green scored 15.3 points and dished out 5.0 assists — a top-50 mark in all of college basketball. He also shot 36.4% from downtown and averaged 1.6 steals per game en route to a first team All-Ohio Valley Conference nod.
Green joins College of Charleston transfer Zep Jasper as incoming players for Auburn that have collegiate experience, something Bruce Pearl needed with the departure of Cooper and Justin Powell.
