Draymond is really the “running around doing nothing” fellow…
Dude tries to mask himself as a playmaker and defensive maven because he knows he ain’t s*** on offense

Y'all aren't going to disrespect GS's most important player like this.

the Thunder did. They were going at him with Lu Dorts and Kenrich Williams' of the world. And got the comeback W because of it in fact, KW looked at Giddey and said just throw the ball I can outrun and outjump this fatso and got the game winner on that backcut

Draymond's signature move is the dribble hand off with built in moving screen.

Teams will still try to go at Luka if they can find him, but Kidd and Sweeney do a wonderful job of keeping him covered/running doubles at him when he gets ISO'd.
But even then - he's not nearly as bad a defender as Trae. Not by a long shot. His biggest issue is his effort/focus on that end is still wildly inconsistent, thus, the OKC game

There’s probably not a player in NBA history whose individual success was more situationally driven than Draymond Greene.
Basketball symbiote. If he can draw off the energy of multiple other players who are all-stars, he’s a force. If he can’t, you get Mr. Triple-Single.

His entire career is basically Celtics Rondo but at least Rondo would score when he wasn't passing to Ray, KG and Paul

Draymond is great. He just isn’t the PG or primary playmaker THEY want him to be to diminish Steph’s greatness

He was on Bron’s show talmbout “Fans are so stupid. Why would I ever shoot when I can just pass to Steph?” Like he had just made some profound revelation.
The episode released like a month after he tricked off that Grizzlies play-in game

We do a similar strategy with Trae to hide him or make sure he has help lowkey Trae does a good job of hiding himself at Leah’s he did in last years playoffs. I think Trae issue is actually effort and focus on that side as well too. His ceiling as a defender isn’t Lukas ceiling because of obvious physical reasons but with effort he can be a bad but pesky defender who can at least lead guys into the help instead of being straight horrible. But if he can be that consistently that’s good with me. Our biggest problem on defense right now is that Trae isn’t the worst defender on our team despite how bad of a defender he is. Of the guys that get real minutes Gallo for sure worse and then Huerter and Bogdan right there and that hurts us more cause of the guys they usually have to defend

That’s why he ain’t never tried to leave GS. Boy would be exposed for what he really is. But then again he doesn’t need to leave that’s where other players go wrong I guess lol.

Trae's a problem, but in general their roster structure puts a TON of pressure on Capela and Okongwu to be everywhere all the time.
Hunter is the only guy they've got anywhere on the perimeter that can really defend. Throw in Gallo - and Collins is only really OK - and you're in trouble.
