Per usual, Draymond Green‘s statistics do not do his full game justice. Currently, Green is averaging 8.3 points, 8.1 assists, 7.2 rebounds and 2.0 steals a game. These numbers are solid but they don’t express the true impact he has had on the court.

When Green is playing he is constantly affecting each play. His relentless defense brings life into the game. Furthermore, his team-high 8.1 assists per game help to display his ability to create opportunities for his teammates.

The largest concern for Green has been his poor shooting from beyond the 3-point line. Green has never been a great shooter but he usually is capable of making opponents pay if they leave him open. This season, he is attempting fewer 3-pointers and shooting a lower percentage from deep than he has since his sophomore season.
