4. Draymond Green, Golden State Warriors

Counting Stats: 14.0 points, 9.5 rebounds, 7.4 assists, 39% 3PT

PER: 19.3

WS: 11.1

VORP: 5.5 

You may not like the way he runs his mouth or the way he conducts himself on the court – especially with the constant cheap shots – but you have to respect his game. The argument could be made that Draymond Green is the best power forward in the game today, but the biggest difference between Green and the rest of the players ranked higher on this list is ceilings.

With all due respect to Green and his skill-set, which is off the charts, his ceiling nearly isn’t as high as the rest of the players on this list.

Green can do it all – he can shoot, distribute, drive and defend (any position) – and is the heart and soul of the Golden State Warriors.

Next: No. 3
