Draymond Green, Golden State Warriors

I love the way Draymond Green plays the game, aside from kicking folks in the unmentionables. He’s a really good player that can do a little bit of everything – he can defend, hit the perimeter shot, drive to the basket and even distribute if the opportunity presents itself.

However, he is a bit overrated when it comes to his entire game. He’s essentially a poor man’s LeBron James, who just happened to fall into the right system in Golden State. He’s the perfect glue guy for this team, but I’m not sure he’d have the same impact on any of the other 29 teams in the league.

Green’s legend also grew during this year’s NBA Finals, when he was suspended in the series’ swing game. The Warriors lost and because Green was suspended, the thought is that things would’ve went differently had he been active. I’m not sure about that. He gets the benefit of the doubt, though. I guess.
