Warriors forward Draymond Green uses unique court vision and amazing defensive instincts to outplay and outthink opponents.
After far too long on the shelf, Draymond Green is out of street clothes and back in the lineup. That’s great news for the Warriors because Green might have the highest basketball IQ of all time. The Warriors’ emotional leader is exceptional on both ends of the floor, achieving his success with some seriously high-level decision making.
The impact of Green’s increased role was immediate. The Warriors were a full 14.6 points per 100 possessions better when Green was on the floor. And by the way, they won the NBA Championship. The next season, Green took an even bigger role and the Warriors had the best regular season of all time. The NBA truly came to know and fear the “Death Lineup” that season.
With Green now officially quarterbacking the offense and the Death Lineup getting more time to flex its muscle, the Warriors were 26.3 points per 100 possessions with Green on the floor. For a point of reference, Curry won the MVP unanimously that season, and the Warriors were “only” 22.6 points per 100 possessions when he played than they were when he sat. In the span of two years, Green had gone from a bench player to being one of the main keys to the Warriors’ success.
Green’s preferred option is neither of these. Instead, he employs a “short roll” after setting his screen, giving his guard a window to give him the ball back at around the free-throw line. From there, he takes advantage of the temporary 2-on-1 situation, takes a dribble or two towards the rim, and when the big man steps up to stop him, he flips either a bounce pass or a lob to the now-open Warriors big man for a layup or an alley-oop dunk.
