Trying to predict how a player will do at the next level by using a variety of different attributes and metrics is not the same as evaluating a player who is already a proven player in the NBA.
You are comparing apples to oranges.

A) Hollinger didn't make that move; Chris Wallace did
b) he is actually on record as an ESPN writer destroying Jeff Green's game

Congrats on the pitty award
Couldnt be more wrong but I come to expect it from you. These awards were voted on before the NBA season ended. So before Curry was named MVP and won the title.

I'm sure this is a proud day for everyone involved in the Rockets franchise and its fans.

No, tell me specifically what is wrong about that. Don't just post the whole thing.
If it's not true, straighten it out.

Because he was an upgrade on Tayshaun and the team went like 14-2 after the trade

Well Hollinger had a vote when he was a media member and he made a move to acquire Jeff freakin Green last season. So what makes you think media members can identify talent any better than players
Players, on the other hand, would benefit from those skills, but it is not a necessary requirement.

Yeah I was on my phone. I thought he was implying scouts were busy breaking down college players that teams didn't have a group of guys that break down all of this game film.
So god damn touchy.
