1. The Warriors have a great Franchise piece in Draymond Green. Now if we could just have an intervention with his feet….

Draymond Green has been exceptional this year. We could stand to see more of him over the course of every year. His defense, play-making, and versatility is amazing. The wrinkle of intangibles he adds to the Warriors is a thing of beauty.

There is one thing that we cannot avoid talking about when it comes to Draymond Green however. If you haven’t been under a rock these past couple of seasons, you know what this is. While everything about Draymond’s game is exceptional, his feet have a mind of their own, and therefore refuse to follow the standard of exceptional.

We are joking around for the sake of context. The burning question is, how many kicking incidents will we see from Draymond this season? Does anyone want to join me in a betting pool on it? We know he doesn’t do this on purpose and because of that this holds but so much credibility, however wouldn’t it be a great Christmas if we never saw Draymond Green get another Flagrant Foul in his career.

Wishful thinking is not the most pragmatic of applications on this matter, but it’s Christmas so why not give it a punchers chance. We love you Draymond, so for our sake tell your feet to stop the non-sense.
