Draymond Green's significance to the Warriors
Draymond Green's performances have been flying under the radar for quite some time now. His impact on the game isn't necessarily visible in the final box score, but you understand the quality of the player when you see the Warriors play.
Green is the orchestrator for the Warriors. He is the one who makes them tick on the court. Green's ability on the floor is predicated on him playing incredible defense and orchestrating the offense. Steph Curry and Klay Thompson get so many open shots because of Green's IQ and his ability to be a floor general for the Warriors.
Draymond can play as a center as well as a forward, allowing Steve Kerr to go small whenever he wants. This enables him to take advantage of Green's speed and versatility.
Green was also arguably the best defender in the game this season, alongside Rudy Gobert. He has quick hands and incredible footwork, which allows him to maneuver and break up the opposition's plays.
The intangibles Draymond Green brings to the roster are underrated. He has been a vital part of the Warriors dynasty as they won their fourth championship in eight years.
