Where would you rank draymond green all time?

70-80 range off the top of my head.

Too far in the weeds to be sure. Not top 50 certainly. Might be in the top 100 though.

Last time I ranked him at about 70

Top 60 approaching the top 50.

He’s in my top 75, but I’d be lying if I said I could put a precise number on it. Three years in 15-17 where he’s a legit T-10 player in the world and nearly a decade (2015-23, 2020 removed) of being in the best defender in the league conversation with the clear best aggregate value across this time frame Is rather impressive at that general tier of players.

Well ya that plus being part of 4 title teams is sort of big as well. Although we do talk about all the positives I think negatives are also part of the equation. He isn't that easy to get along with and can create chemistry issues on top of things like getting tossed out of games.

I think top 75 is fair. Key guy on a dynasty and one of the highest impact defenders and all around players of his era. Think over time his lack of true dominance on the glass compared to other anchor bigs holds him back

Top 80-90 ish seems right to me. Maybe a little higher. Somewhat overrated playmaker. Very good defender. Total boob as a scoring threat. Pivotal supporting cast to the guys who shoulder the load, but contributes a lot outside out of scoring/scoring threat.

Not top 50. Very likely wouldn’t break top 75. Somewhere at the back end of a top 100 feels right without sorting it out.

In my pre Top 100 rough draft I had him Top 40.

How many top 5 or top 10 seasons do you see Draymond having?

Damn!

Whats the rationale?

I assume a key piece of modern defenses, a +/- monster and a key kog in a modern day team on both ends of the floor?

It really goes to show how LeBron was facing a Top 15 and Top 40 player--in their primes--at the same time

I would hope that all the people who spent a bunch of threads in the Top 100 project downplaying Steph by talking about Draymond being as or more impactful would actually rank Draymond quite high.

One spot above wherever Steph Curry is.

Green doesn't have enough longevity to me to crack top 50. He's definitely inside top 100 though.

I feel absolutely certain he’s not in the top 40 and absolutely certain he’s in the top 100. I feel reasonably certain he’s not in the top 50 and reasonably certain he’s in the top 75. So if I had to guess maybe like 60-ish? I haven’t made a list past 30 though.

At the end of TOP50 from last project we find these names

Allen/Gasol/Payton

Also are new comers

Davis
Giannis
Jokic
Lillard
Butler
George

I see him more in 60-70 range with Rodman

Not in Top 75.

~90 range. He's always been a borderline star. I'd actually just label him a top 3 all time role player because a star can carry a team to some extent. Dray without Curry's gravity is a total liability on offense.

The vast majority of his offensive value is dribble hand offs and high post passing to cutters or guys coming off screens. He's a rondo assist guy. And that's fine if you have enough offense to not need another scorer. Because he is certainly not a scorer, in any way shape or form. If Curry is off the floor people will sag off and he won't have a passing angle. They only guard him because of the dribble hand off threat that Curry can generate offense with because all he needs is a fraction of daylight.
