Wendell Green Jr. has been off to a hot start posting great numbers for the Tigers this season.

Green Jr. has been putting up a lot of points but hasn't been shooting well from deep. Well, that hasn't been the case so far against Winthrop.

He has nine points on 3-4 from deep, including one three-pointer from way back that sent the jungle into a frenzy.

Green Jr. is going to be a lot of fun to watch this season as he runs this offense.

For this Auburn team to be successful, Green Jr. has to shoot the ball well.

Let's watch Green Jr. make one from deep.
