5. Golden State Warriors (24-13)
If there’s one thing that this team is really missing at the moment, it’s a good version of Draymond Green. Putting in flatly, and honesty, Green has been bad. Really bad. He’s averaging eight points, eight rebounds and seven assists – all good – but he’s shooting just 41 percent from the field and 23 percent from 3-point range.
He’s becoming less and less of a threat on the offense end, and team’s will begin playing off him on that side of the ball as an attempt to shift the defense more towards Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry.
I’m not sure this is how the end of the Warriors will take place, but this could be where it begins. The less of a factor Green is, the more he’s going to become a minus by having him on the floor – no matter how good he may be on the defensive end.
