Klay Thompson and Draymond Green Y'all

29 points, 17 rebounds, 14 assists for Draymond.

Thread officially backfired.

That's why I bumped this thread before game had started, because I knew it was going to backfired again. Draymond is the truth. Dude in his own class. I have never seen a stretch four that is so productive in every category: passing, shooting, rebound, ball-handling, and most importantly, defense.

Neither was Barnes, Barbosa, Rush, Ezeli, McAdoo yet the W was still attained.

Dray shutting these fools down. fukk em. Dray is a mini Bron. Yeah I've said it.

This is why people hate on dray. This type of overrating is cringe worthy even know you admit bron is much better.

Green is an allstar on golden state

It's not so much that he developed those skills when he got to the nba, offensively he's using the same skillset he always possessed, it's just that scouts didn't see those skills translating to the nba level with his lack of size and explosiveness. I always thought that whoever got him in the late 1st or early 2nd would be getting a steal if they let him play his Game and utilize his extremely high bball iq. But I had no idea he would succeed on this grand of a scale.

And him being a defensive beast like he is, that shyt cane out of nowhere. He always had the iq to know where to be on d, but lacked the physical ability to always be there. That nba strength and conditioning program is a muthafukka if you dedicate yourself.

This goes into what I was saying in another thread.

The NBA has started to get so much more complex on both sides of the ball, guys with really good bball IQ's are going to have a huge advantage over guys who rely on athleticism or skills alone. The last decade of NBA champs have been teams full of really high-IQ guys, not to mention some fantastic coaching.

Golden State: Curry, Draymond, Klay, Iggy
San Antonio twice: Duncan, Parker, Ginobli, Kawhi
Miami twice: Lebron, Battier, Wade, Ray once
Dallas: Nowitzki, Kidd, Marion
Los Angeles twice: Kobe, Gasol, Fisher
Boston: Garnett, Pierce, Rondo, Ray

I think that's why a lot of teams and players get underestimated - its hard for a casual fan to "see" high-IQ on the court, and yet it's making a bigger difference than ever.

he should be a All-Star starter

You're one of the 2 Rockets fans on this board that's not a hater. The rest have hate in their dna.

That nba strength and conditioning program is a muthafukka if you dedicate yourself. Believe it was @Basaglia on the Fiyastarter podcast that said during his draft year that somebody was gonna get him as a late pick, get him in a weight program and end up getting a quality player. Thought the same thing at the time and waved my Pistons to bring him home in the 2nd. We were only 2 or 3 picks away from making it happen. Still hoping to do it with Denzel if a quality PF ain't left on the board.

...wanted the Cavs to draft him. Cavs passed on Klay and Dray in consecutive drafts and I had to watch them beat the Cavs for a title last year.

@Malta

He was 6'7.5" in shoes, that's only one and a half inch shorter than the average PF, with the way dudes were talking you'd think he was 6'3".


Imagine Barkley in the draft today, he'd probably fall to the 16-30 range because he's not 6'10.

Over whom?
