Draymond Green’s career accolades
Green’s list of accomplishments with the Warriors is lengthy and includes 4 NBA titles with the franchise. The former Spartan is also an 8-time All defense selection, a 2-time All-NBA selection, a 4-time All-Star and the 2016-17 Defensive Player of the Year.
Green has career averages of 8.7 points, 7 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1.4 steals and 1 block while shooting 45% from the floor and 31% from 3-point range. While his numbers do not jump off the page, Green is an all-time glue guy for the Warriors alongside Steph Curry and Klay Thompson.
We’ll see if the core unit of Golden State can dial up more runs to the NBA Finals over the life of Green’s contract.
