Draymond Green as NBA's top center

[Panic!]

Green will continue to innovate while Golden State lacks size up front. As he makes light of his status as the NBA's best 5 and as Kerr makes light of his stature, Green will probably keep bamboozling the larger men of this league.

A 6-foot-5¾ fellow as the NBA's best center? Like so much great comedy, maybe it's funny because it's true.

This is stupid

ESPN loves the Warriors so much.

They're ESPN's new Lebron.

 

[tyfreak]

Drummond, Cousins, Gasol, Horford all over Draymond off the top of my head.

As centers sure, but I'd rather have Draymond over all of those guys to build a team

 

[FearLessBeast]

Who the fuck comes up with this lol. Plain stupidity. Draymond isn't even fit to be a center.

 

[FearLessBeast]

If Draymond was a center he would be #10

I'd take Marc Gasol and Demarcus Cousins.

Gasol is like 32 and Boogie is a problem in the locker room. Draymond is more versatile than any of them

Lol

Boogie is super talented. I do not want him on my team

... Ok. I'm sure all 30 NBA GMs would disagree with you here.

Why? Draymond is way more versatile and is much better suited for how the game is played in the league today, plus he's much better for a teams chemistry. Plus I don't like back to the basket scorers

I think that you're misinterpreting the part where Draymond is also a trouble maker. He's definitely an attitude problem, but it's managed because: 1. The rest of his team is stellar. 2. They're winning. 3. Their management is lightyears better than Sacramento's. If you take Draymond off of the Warriors he could potentially be a locker room problem as well. I think a lot of Boogie's frustrations are with his management. They can't make up their mind about a head coach that has threatened to trade their star, and who keeps putting the team in idiotic systems. Basically, in my eyes both are potential trouble issues under the right circumstances. Draymond is definitely suited to play multiple positions, but Cousins is a special talent.

Abso fucking lutely not

Draymond is in no way, shape or form an attitude problem, that is completely misinterpreting his behavior. He was never even a minor locker room problem in his years at Michigan State. He's simply the kind of player whom you love if he's on your team and hate if he's not. He does the tough talk and the gritty shit for the team, basically plays the enforcer/swag masthead combo role. But he is no way an attitude problem, he's one of the toughest players in the league (that's how he succeeded in the NBA when everyone doubted him) but he's great towards his teammates, his coaches, random people on the street, etc.

Cousins on the other hand can be legitimately abrasive at times. And yeah that's worsened by him being so frustrated in Sacramento, but he is a legitimate threat to chemistry if he's not happy and Draymond is never that. And that's why I'm fairly confident you'd find at least (at least) 1 GM who'd decide that he's not worth the price to get him even if he was available

 

[cavsfan817]

Draymond has never not been on a winning team. We have no idea how his attitude could come across in the locker room if wins aren't being checked off on the schedule

 

[BNC]

Draymond's teammates absolutely love him, I'm not sure that's the case in Sacramento. Cousins is a head case, sure there's something to be said about the horrible situation he's in but it's not like you can completely ignore the fact that he's been there that entire time. Where there's smoke there's fire, right?

 

[cavsfan817]

If you take a vocal guy and put him in a volatile situation, often times trouble arises. I think that would be the case if the two switched teams.

I think both teams lose. DeMarcus and Dray are NOT the same in terms of persona/what they bring to the locker room, Warriors definitely are worse off. And the Kings are a mess no matter who you bring in right now
