What he's doing right now is great and was always fully within his capability to do (well...not shooting 55% from 3, but being a good two-way player), but it remains to be seen if he keep it up.

Yeah, that's fair. You're right - this year is night and day compared to his ability and confidence the years prior.
But there is an awful lot of "DERP I WILL CALL HIM SELDOM UNTIL I SEE HIM PERFORM" as if he weren't one of our 5 best players. I've never understood the hate. Effort + talent + athleticism. All he was missing was health. I think we see his explosiveness now in a way that hasn't been present since high school.
And his jumper was flat before. There's so much better arc and rotation on his shot now, it's just fantastic to watch.
And don't get me wrong - I like Greene a lot. But he has a long way to go before he deserves a starting spot and he will likely never be better than Selden is.
In fact, I've been thinking about it, and I would love to see Selden land on the Warriors. Unselfish, big wing with floor vision that can hit the three but shouldn't be a primary ball handler. He'd be a hell of a backup to Klay and would fit right into that offense as a reserve.
