Draymond Green, Golden State Warriors

2014-15 Stats: 11.7 points, 8.2 rebounds 

As was the case during the NBA Finals, the Golden Warriors’ hopes of repeating as NBA Champions is going to hinge on Draymond Green, the Warriors’ be-everything, do-everything guy. He’s the one guy that every NBA team wishes they had, but don’t.

If Green can continue to be the unicorn of the NBA, the Warriors will continue to have an advantage over the rest of the field.

The Warriors are going to be good with or without Green, they just so happen to be NBA Championship contenders when he’s on his game.
