Green was part of the Australian Basketball team that won bronze at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.[2]

Early life

Green was born in Sydney to Australian mother Cahla and American-born father Delmas. His parents met while both were playing semi-professional basketball in Australia.[3] The couple decided to raise a family in the north-west Sydney suburb of Castle Hill where Josh began playing basketball at the age of five when his mother started coaching him. Along with playing local basketball for the Hills Hornets as a child, Green tried an array of sports as a junior and excelled in Australian rules football, athletics, basketball, rugby, soccer and swimming. By the age of 10, he had been selected to represent his home state of New South Wales in nine separate sports.[4] In fifth grade, Green traveled more than 12 hours by car to the outback town of Broken Hill in an attempt to gain selection for the under-12 state basketball team and was told he was good enough to be on the team but would have to wait a year or two so the older boys could play. 12 months later, he captained the under-12 NSW Metro state team to a national title.[4] Green switched to play club basketball for Penrith in 2013 and the decision paid off when he was selected to represent the under-14 and under-16 New South Wales state teams in successive years as a bottom-ager.[5]

Green was also a prodigious Australian rules footballer in his younger years[6][7][8] while playing locally for the Westbrook Bulldogs and would regularly attend Sydney Swans home games with his father. Green claims to have "loved" playing Australian Rules Football[9][10][11] and has "always been a big Swans fan", naming Adam Goodes and Lance Franklin as his favourite players growing up.[12] Such was his talent in Australian Rules Football, the Swans and fellow professional football club Greater Western Sydney Giants offered him a place in their junior developmental academies.[9] At the age of 13, Green accepted an offer to join the Giants' academy.[13][14] However, in November 2014 the family relocated to Phoenix, Arizona[15] for the father's work commitments and Green was subsequently forced to quit Australian Rules football.[16]

High school career

While in Australia, Green attended The King's School in Sydney and dominated the local basketball scene so much that he was selected to represent the New South Wales' under 16 state team at the age of 13.[17][18] Later that year, the Green family relocated to Phoenix, Arizona, and in 2015, Josh enrolled at Mountain Ridge High School, where he impressed.[19] In 2017, he transferred to the IMG Academy in Florida[18] and became a five-star draft prospect.[20] In the final game of his high school career, Green led IMG to a national championship victory with a 65–55 win over La Lumiere and was subsequently named MVP of the championship game.[21]

He was selected for the 2019 McDonald's All-American Boys Game, along with fellow UA recruit Nico Mannion.[22]

Recruiting

Green received an offer to join the Villanova Wildcats in April 2018.[23] In July 2018, he received an offer to join the North Carolina Tar Heels.[24]

Green was considered a top player in the 2019 recruiting class by 247Sports, Rivals and ESPN. On 4 October 2018, Green committed to play for the Arizona Wildcats over Kansas, North Carolina, Villanova, USC and UNLV. Green is a consensus five-star prospect out of IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida. In October 2018, Green signed his NLI to the University of Arizona for basketball.[25]

Following the season, he declared for the 2020 NBA draft.[28]

The Mavericks picked up his option for another year until the 2022–23 season.[31]

National team career

Green was named in the 24-man squad selected to represent the Australian national team in FIBA World Cup Qualifiers against Qatar and Kazakhstan in September 2018.[35] However, a torn labrum in his right shoulder prevented him from making his international debut. In January 2019, Green revealed his ambitions to represent Australia at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.[3] On 6 February 2019, Green was named in the 23-man squad selected to represent Australia's Under-19 national team at the 2019 FIBA Under-19 Basketball World Cup.[36] In March 2019, Green signalled his aspiration to represent Australia at the 2019 FIBA World Cup.[37] Green made his senior debut for Australia in the first round of the 2020 Olympics against Nigeria and helped his country obtain their first ever Olympic medal in men's basketball, beating Slovenia in the bronze medal game.[38]
