Golden State Warriors: Grading each player in the first round

Draymond Green: A

Draymond Green has never been a scorer for the Warriors. Playing 37.6 minutes per game, Green averaged a mere 11.4 points on 35.7 percent shooting from the field and 28.6 percent shooting from behind the arc.

However, his presence was felt all over the course in a number of other different ways, which is exactly why you find him near the top of the class.

In addition to his 11.4 points, Green averaged 11.2 rebounds, 8.0 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.0 blocks. He was a +8.8 in the first round, which was the team’s second-best mark in plus-minus.

Green is absolutely no stranger to stuffing the stat sheet, but his high rebounding numbers are noteworthy. Going up against the formidable Spurs frontcourt, Draymond played a significant role in controlling the glass, winning the battle of the boards in three out of their five games.
