Draymond Green is one of those players that won’t have the accolades in terms of stats like MVP candidates do. But man he really is an everyman. By that I mean he does all the things that both appears on the box score and doesn’t appear on the box score. Which is why when I hear Golden State head coach Steve Kerr say that Draymond Green has some Dennis Rodman in him. I highly agree.
Kerr on whether he remembers another team went small to get better defensively: “When I played in Chicago, that was an excellent defensive team and we put Rodman at the 5 sometimes. And I’d usually be off the floor (smiles).
“And we’d have, like, Harper, Jordan, Pippen, Rodman and maybe Toni Kukoc or another wing guy. And that team was phenomenal defensively.
“I think Draymond has a lot of Dennis Rodman in him. He defies positions, he guards anybody, he’s quick enough to stay in front of point guards; he’s big and strong and tough at the rim and rebounds like crazy.
I love Draymond Green. He’s a constant beast. He is the engine of the Warriors believe it or not. Even though Curry and Thompson lead the squad. It is Green that gets the train moving.
