Player profile
Although it is considered too small to power forward at 6 feet 7 inches (2.01 m), Green is a versatile defender, able to keep all 5 positions as both an interior and perimeter defender. Green learns his opponent's habits, and takes advantage of his preparations along with muscular skeletons and lower body strength, and is capable of producing rebounds, steals and blocks. He was crowned into several NBA All-Defensive Teams, and was named the NBA Player of the Year 2016-17 This Year.
Offensively, he can handle the ball at break fast and give feedback to his teammates to score. He is a three-point shooter capable of providing distance for offense by stretching the opponent's defense. Green is also proficient in printing around baskets. Its superb interior defense combined with its offensive repertoire creates a unique two-way expertise.
Under the guidance of Steve Kerr (and Luke Walton under temporary bases), Green became important to the Warriors Death Lineup as the team's center. His appearance in this position allows the Warriors to create a number of match issues to defy the defense during the 2014-15 and 2015-16 seasons. When played as a center, the length and strength of Green allows it to credibly defend and challenge the opponent's center in the post, even though it does not provide rebounding ability against higher opponents. However, on the offensive side, he can run faster, surpass and surpass most of the other centers in the league, leading to the chances of breaking fast and disrupting the defensive set. The versatility and efficiency in this position has resulted in many analysts discussing Green as the realization of the future direction of the center position in the NBA, with some even calling it the league's best center.
During the 2015-16 season, Green dramatically improved his role in team play, doubling his average assists to the top 7.4 teams per game - both for the seventh in the league and by far the most helpful with any power of the year. Green ball handling, court vision and selfishness in one role forward have been repeatedly cited as the reason why the Warriors are increasing from 2014-15 to 2015-16. In 2015-16, Green plays about 20 percent of the minutes in that role, with the Warriors outperforming their pledge by 26.6 points per 48 minutes. Although he took a lower role in the offense for the 2016-17 season, thanks to the addition of former MVP Kevin Durant, he took a step forward on defense, eventually winning the NBA Defensive Player of the Year Award he craved after two straight seasons as runner-up to Kawhi Leonard.
He is widely viewed as the emotional and emotional "heart and soul" of the Warriors and is renowned for his vocal leadership in court and in the dressing room. When the Warriors are pushed to the close of the 2015-16 season record season, Green is very vocal about his desire to break the Chicago Bulls all-time winning record, and seek feedback from his teammates to ensure the team manages to push towards a common goal. Green field chemistry and Curry have been cited as the key to Laskar's improvements in 2015-16, as Blak's fiery and bright-green desire has united with Curry's more calm and embarrassing beliefs to give the team "dual- and sometimes dueling - -alpha dogs "that ultimately support each other. Green is said to have played an important role in Kevin Durant's recruitment to join the Warriors.
Due to his very physical game, including some physical play incidents in the playoffs, some have criticized him as a 'dirty' player. Greens are often among league leaders in technical violations.
Personal life
Green is the son of Mary Babers and Wallace Davis. His stepfather is Raymond Green, and he has two brothers, Torrian Harris and Braylon Green, and three sisters, LaToya Babers, Jordan Davis, and Gabby Davis. Harris played basketball for Nebraska-Omaha from 2009 to 2011.
Green has two children, a Kyla daughter and a son Draymond Jr.
During his time at Michigan State University, Green trained with the Michigan State Spartans football team and was in for two plays during the 2011 Green-White spring football game and played tight.
In the summer of 2012, Green moved to an apartment in Emeryville, California. Green thinks it's too expensive to live in San Francisco, as most of his Warriors' teammates do and explain his choice of simple apartments: "I've destroyed my whole life enough I will not live the same life, but I will keep the same principle. "He identifies himself as a Christian.
On September 14, 2015, Green donated $ 3.1 million to Michigan State University, which is the biggest vault of an athlete in school history, to help build new athletic facilities and fund donation programs for scholarships.
On July 10, 2016, Green was arrested for assault in East Lansing, Michigan. The night before, he had confronted Michigan State defensively, Jermaine Edmondson. The arrest report mentions Green going to Rick's bar and bumping into Edmondson. After a verbal exchange, two Green colleagues allegedly strangled Edmondson and his girlfriend. The following night, Green and Edmondson attended Conrad's Grill in East Lansing where Edmondson confronts Green about an incident the night before. Green allegedly stabbed Edmondson in the chest and slapped or punched his face.
