Draymond Green's ceiling?

Golden Angel · Post #1 » by **Golden Angel** » Tue May 6, 2014 6:32 pm

His stats in this years playoffs: 11.9ppg, 8.3rpg, 2.9apg, 1,7spg, 1,7bpg.

Draymond Green is going to be a hot commodity when his contract comes up. Dude is a BALLER!

Donyell Marshall is the first player that comes to mind as a comparison.

I would say his ceiling is an AC Green with a 3pt shot.

He is a good 4th option to have on offense and a great 5th option. I would think he will bring in between 6-7 million when his rookie contract is up. Think Amir Johnson type money.

It's a joke that he doesn't start over Lee.

Taj Gibson doesn't start over Boozer either..

As long as Draymond gets his minutes and plays over Lee in crunch time I'm ok with that, that's why we need Thibs or SVG.

A rich man's Draymond Green.

I like him quite a bit. I really wish we hadn't passed on him a couple years ago, but I think he's getting overrated now. He's a solid role player, who does a little of everything out there but hustles really well and will give you a nice burst of energy when you need it. He'll be a really nice backup PF/SF for years to come, maybe a starter on the right team but I don't think he's someone who will be playing 30+ minutes every night. I think he peaks as a very nice hustle player that averages 9/6/2/1/1 in about 20-24 minutes a game. His offense needs to be significantly better if he wants to start. I think the Warriors are a piece or two and a year or two away from being a true contender as they are built right now, and Green could be a key piece in his current role once that occurs.

I like Green quite a bit...in some ways he seems like Kenneth Faried with a perimeter shot

but I also have a memory. Last year at this same time, the question was "What is Harrison Barnes Ceiling?" ....Barnes had just shined in the playoffs over 12 games (16 points, 6.5 reb), instead of 7 game like Green and a lot of people were pegging him as a top-5 SF of the future. He was being hailed because of an impressive playoff performance

I'd say what Green does is more sustainable then what Barnes did, but it's not a certain science

I've been saying since his rookie year that Draymond Green is going to be a championship role player. He's going to be a bigger James Posey with better passing/IQ, a better attitude, and better longevity. He's going to find his way onto a title team some day.

You're looking at it. Very effective role, hustle guy, probably best off the bench.

Why, because lee's a bad defender? Let's just ignore the fact that he's a highly efficient double double machine with above average passing skills for his position...

I agree lee is an all star caliber player and better by a good margin.

Yes because Lee is a very bad defender. Lee can score yes but that is about all you get with him.

Two very important aspects of basketball are offence and defence. Lee is only good at one. Lee as the number one offensive option never leads to anything close to a title or anything above the first round at best.

…I just said he's a double double machine and above average passer for his position. Those are significant skills in addition to his ability as a scorer. And who's talking about him being a first option?! Did steph curry decide to go play overseas next season?

Why would GSW want to start Green over Lee? David is a veteran, established borderline all-star, and I think pretty much everyone is aware that he's a poor defender. He's a very good offensive player, and the Boozer/Gibson parallel is IMO way off. Boozer is an awful player these days - he can't even score anymore, and it used to be his calling card. He's still a good rebounder, but that's pretty much the only positive he brings. Lee scores efficiently, rebounds solidly, and is a pretty good passer. When Bogut is healthy, they're a pretty great fit. Problems start when Bogut can't play, because that's when Lee really gets exposed defensively. Sure, Green played very well against LAC, but that's just 7 games - pretty small sample size...

I absolutely agree that Gibson should start over Boozer though.

Green's ceiling is Larry Johnson with a bad back
