For most of the dynasty days, the Golden State Warriors have drawn praise for their offense.
Their defense, however, is what has set them apart from the rest of the pack during all these years.
That’s why it’s been so nice to see them turning back the clock and playing elite defense over the past five games or so.
Recently, Draymond Green proved why he’s one of the best and most versatile defensive players this game has ever seen, essentially salvaging the Warriors’ game with a clutch block on Daniel Gafford.
That’s why, following the win, Andrew Wiggins went on to call him a ‘defensive mastermind,’ stating that he was everywhere and is the kind of ‘special’ player who seems to have eyes in the back of his head (via Warriors on NBC Sports).
“Draymond is special. Very special,” Wiggins said.
Green’s basketball IQ and defensive expertise have never been in question.
He’s the kind of difference-maker who can have a huge impact on both ends of the floor.
Just last week, Steve Kerr’s team held three opponents under 100 points in three consecutive games, all on the road.
