Power Forward: Draymond Green

Having a healthy Draymond Green back in action is going to be a huge stepping stone for the Golden State Warriors in 2021.

Green is without a doubt the best defender on the team and having his aggressive playstyle back on the court was certainly missed in parts of last season and will be great to have back. The combination of Green and Curry should return the Golden State Warriors of old.

Green will be providing the Warriors with his smack-talking, shot-blocking, foul-drawing self and give the Warriors much-needed stability at their power forward position.

Last season, Green averaged 8 points per game, 6.2 rebounds per game, and 6.2 assists per game. Green isn’t the greatest shooter on the team, but on a team that has Oubre Jr., Curry, and Wiggins, you don’t need him to be.

Green will crack the starting lineup once again and be the best defender on the Warriors roster.
