You guys can rag on Draymond Green all you want, but I appreciate how much he's improved himself since joining the NBA. Few guys play with his intensity and impact games the way he does. For the record: I despise a lot of his on-court antics just like everyone else and he deserves the target on his back.
He put at least two games away last season defending the last possession. And how do you feel about cp3s nut shots?
Draymond has a whole league big men punked right now. The bigs don't post him and can't out battle him on the boards. The guy rim protects through shot blocking smaller guys shots or taking charges on bigger or more athletic guys. The bigs in today's NBA should be ashamed of themselves that they allow a 6'7 guy to impact the game that way. Speaks to how inept the big man play is in the NBA.
nba refs agenda back in the day even dmo would post this donkey up and eat his lunch every game. after 2015 the game changed
Green's trash talk isn't in the same league as Mcgregor. Mcgregor trolled Green just to troll Mayweather. Glorious.
Hate his on-court antics, but you're absolutely right. Top 25 player easily and probably Top 20. He's the ultimate role player and any team would take him on theirs. He's the heart and soul of that GSW team. That said, he obviously benefits from playing on the best team in the league, as any player would, and he gets away with a lot of hand-checking that most guys don't, but I digress. Really good player.
If you asked GM's around the league to start a franchise with one player he would come up in the 30-40 range. Who is he without the winning percentage. I think he is the engine to the GSW team but hell no.
True. But that does not change that he cannot be your main offensive player. And he cannot be your go to guy on offense. I also hate cp3. However when a player plays for the rockets I can accept a but more antics. So we will see how I feel about him.next year.
He obviously can't lead a team offensively. But he definitely deserves his defensive player of the year award. Top 20-25 range is adequate.
I think Draymond is basically a bigger Pat Bev. 100% hustle all the time and borderline dirty. Hate him when he's on the other side, but would love to have him on your team. Super interested to see the reaction from this board when Bev gets nasty against the Rockets (and you KNOW he's going to).
Like you said Bev is hustle player and borderline dirty. He still plays within the rules. Green just nutshots people with his flailing limbs. He also looks like something you should throw back into the lake. I'd pay to see Green take on Mcgregor in boxing or mma.
Green might be a 'tough guy' in the NBA, and twice McGregor's size, but I'm pretty sure he's not stupid enough for that. Conor would beat his ass.
NBA players are not tough like they were back in the day. Part of this is that aren't stupid enough to risk injury because are they are making so much money.
