5. Draymond Green

Draymond Green does a little of it all. He can lead the team is scoring, rebounding, assists and steals, all while guarding the opposition’s best player. Oh, and he has a knack for getting under LeBron’s skin – though, that can be both a good and bad thing.

If Draymond doesn’t get suspended in last year’s NBA Finals, the Warriors probably win back-to-back NBA Championships. Though, what’s done is done.

We don’t know exactly how this year’s rubber match between the Cavs and Warriors will end, but you can bet that Draymond Green is going to have a big hand in who wins it. As long as he can keep his kicking at a minimum, he’s arguably the most important player not named LeBron in this series.
