11. Draymond Green
A former Defensive Player of the Year, as we live Draymond Green’s career in the present day, we don’t often appreciate the player that he has been and the immense impact that he’s had on the Warriors dynasty.
A second-round pick in the 2012 NBA Draft, Green’s best season saw him average 14 points, 9.5 rebounds, 7.4 assists, 1.5 steals, and 1.4 blocks. That season, Golden State went on to win an NBA-record 73 games.
Being an important part of the Warriors’ three titles and five Finals appearances, Green’s play has certainly taken a turn for the worst over the last two seasons.
However, he’s still a three-time All-Star and three-time NBA Champion. Without Green, this team should be as capable defensively and wouldn’t work as fluidly on offense. Green has been the engine to arguably the best team in modern-NBA history.
Green, by the end of his career, will crack into the top 10 players in franchise history.
