Jerry West calls Draymond Green top-10 player, most underrated in NBA

:russ:

please explain why i don't know what i'm talking about. If steph misses extensive time, i'm interested to see how green plays
One person = people now? :usure:

There aren't enough "people" that call him a top-10 player to deem him anywhere near the end of the spectrum of being overrated. Draymond is a streaky shooter - he's had games like this a few times this season playing WITH Curry:

5-14 against Phoenix
4-13 against Pacers
2-9 against Hornets
4-13 against Kings
3-10 against Pistons
3-11 against Clippers
3-12 against Pelicans

So suddenly the game where he shoots poorly is attributed to not playing alongside Curry, but the games where he shot poorly playing WITH Curry are swept under the rug?

:heh:

That's not even mentioning all the production he has when Curry is ON the bench. Yes, he benefits on the OFFENSIVE side playing next to Curry, but he can still run the offense (as a secondary playmaker) and hit shots/drive and finish at the rim without him. He doesn't need Curry to have the most defensive impact in the league.

You don't value the opinion of jerry west over other "people"

again miss me with this draymon can guard all 5 positions schick. I guarantee you he cannot guard elite wings and bigs all game. I.E. you can't say draymon go guard chris paul all game, lebron, paul george etc.. If you say he can guard them on switches without help at times i would tend to agree with that. But kerr or walton isn't using him like tony allen and having him shadow the other teams best offensive wing player all game.

your right but I'm just curious to see if he can handle one of those type knock down drag out games...They are good defense and offense one of the best teams ever it just doesn't seem brutish Im just curious to see if someone took a fight to them how would they respond.


If blatt knew anything about imposing physical will on a team.
He would have kept the cavs playing big in the finals with moz and tt with bron at the three and the big back court.
Or make bron play his natural and have a big back and front court.
Instead he choose to listen to bron play midget aau backcourt and frontcourt ball and lost.

:dwillhuh:

Are you slow? You just said "people" have called him a top 10 player - yet you only referenced ONE person that called him a top 10 player.

WHY THE fukk WOULD KERR USE HIM ON WINGS/GUARDS ALL GAME WHEN THAT WOULD TAKE AWAY FROM ALL THE OTHER THINGS HE DOES ON THE DEFENSIVE END - LIKE PROTECTING THE RIM AND GUARDING BIGS IN THE POST.

When someone refers to a player that's capable of guarding all five positions - they mean they can switch on any player/position or guard them on a few possessions if they're hot. Of course Draymond could guard an elite guard or wing for an entire game - he's not going to do that because it would make their defense worse because that would mean a guard or wing would have to protect the rim, defend a big in the post or do all the jobs Draymond does on the defensive end.

i posted more people calling him "top 10"

again that's my point, and i already said that green can guard these players at times but to me that doesn't equate to being able to guard all positions.

At times lebron can guard PFs and C's doesn't mean he can guard all 5 positions. It's just flowery language to pump green up.

He's an allstar on the warriors with curry.
