This Team Needs Draymond Green

It is pretty evident that this team is missing Draymond Green right now. Even after his lousy season last year, Green is wanted now more than ever. His defense especially, and it is so noticeable on the court.

The Warriors need their “linebacker” per se, back on the court. The defensive rotations are terrible, and the assignments that head coach Steve Kerr is drawing up simply will not get it done without a player like Green on the court.

Time after time, we see players like Eric Paschall get blown by or not help right in different situations. That is where Draymond Green comes in and takes over this defense. His ability to guard nearly every position would be crucial for this team at this juncture.

Let’s not forget his leadership as well; while Stephen Curry is an excellent leader, Draymond Green is what makes things work. He is the fuel to the engine on both sides of the ball. His IQ and voice are much-needed right now, and hopefully, he can save the Warriors before it is too late.
