Golden State Warriors @ Memphis Grizzlies: Top-4 Plays

3. Draymond summed up in one video

Draymond Green is a jack-of-all-trades — a Swiss army knife, if you will — and it’s his amazing versatility that makes him central to Golden State’s dominance.

He can handle the ball well enough to direct the offense; he has the vision and passing ability that could rival other points guards; and he can defend nearly every position at an exceptionally high level.

Therefore, it’s really no surprise when he puts all three abilities on full display — all in a matter of ten seconds.

First of all, Green’s closeout on Gasol was textbook: recognizing Gasol’s 3-point shooting ability, Green closes out low on Gasol, stripping the 7-footer by keeping his arms active. After securing the ball, he utilizes his handling ability to push the break, finding Klay Thompson as the trailer.

Credit to Thompson, too: that gliding finger roll finish was pretty damn smooth.
