Damn lmao Draymond Green averaging 3 POINTS his last 3 games on 15% shooting

[NatiboyB]

This is a false equivalence. They're completely different types of players.

The thing you have to understand is, the crux of Draymond's impact has never been through scoring. It's basically EVERYTHING else. He quarterbacks the offense and defense: he is letting his teammates know exactly where they need to be and what to do, and his actions are typically one step ahead of the opposition. Very few players in this league have that type of control over what's happening on the floor.

That is his value to this team, which is even more important given the makeup of the personnel, which the large majority of, have never been in a winning culture.

Now, dig: if Draymond lost all of that ability, but instead became a 13-15 point scorer on good efficiency, he'd actually be a worse player.

You got it. Denial is hard. But at this rate Draymond is not playing well at all.

Yoooo, these nikkas on this site really do be box score watching and not seeing games.
Ever since this nikka Green came back; it has been a different Dubs team. He facilitates both the offense and defense and has been amazing on defense. I've actually watched every game and dudes stats don't tell what he's done and the difference he makes. This topic is just mind-blowing considering.

But this is the coli

That’s how these clowns are getting exposed hard.. box score watching

Explain how he's not playing well

You still haven't answered my question.

Are you watching his games - yes or no?

He's not scoring well, but like I need to keep reiterating, that isn't where his impact and importance is. Now, that doesn't mean he doesn't need to provide more scoring production, but just because he isn't at the moment doesn't mean he isn't playing well. This isn't Lou Will we're talking about here, who's entire value is through his ISO scoring. If Lou Will isn't scoring well, then 10 times out of 10, he isn't playing well, because he doesn't do anything else.

Draymond's scoring =/= Draymond playing well.

Explain how he's not playing well

he’s not hitting shots, causing the defense to ignore him, looks out of condition, and is not efficient.

don’t no what more can be said. He’s basically the broken link in the chain right now.

 

[NatiboyB]

He can't score but if you can't see the impact he has on the court on both ends then you either aren't watching the games or have no clue what you're watching. It is wild to see how his scoring ability has devolved over time since that 2016 Game 7. I figured since no Klay he would be around 12-15 a game this year.

Simple question.

has he performed better? Is he playing up to his normal level?

Better than what? You've made it clear you don't think he's playing well and I don't agree with you at all, this is pointless.

yes he’s not playing well. And the comparison is to his past production.

That’s a major part of the game. Being inefficient is an issue.

Not for Draymond. He also had a couple of easy layups because defenders assumed he would pass it out to the 3pt line.

Hes anchoring the defense, he's initiating the offense. It would be good if he hit threes occasionally but thats not a barometer of success for him

he’s done all of these things and still produced offensively. That’s why I am saying he is not playing up to the level he himself established.

No..you said he's not playing well.. not that he's not playing up to his standard

He's 100% right
