YO thats it. i've been thinking for the longest whose game does Draymond Green remind me of? I was thinking Anthony Mason or a less athletic Shawn Marion. But Mase couldn't defend all 5 positions and couldnt hit the 3. After reading this thread, it's Andrei Kirilenko. Jack of all trades. Can guard anybody.

Probably more AK47 than Matrix. Matrix was a consistent 20 & 10 guy, and wasn't required to handle the ball. But he could defend multiple positions and was probably the best on-the-ball wing defender I've seen since Pippen. No one will acknowledge that though.

BTW when David Lee had a 30 20 10 game, no one cared. That's a feat that hasn't been accomplished that often, either.

Cant front the 5x5 line is rare and you have to be putting in work to get there. It seems easy just saying it but then you think the pts rbs and assists would be pretty easy. It's the blocks and steals that would be hard to attain in the same game.
