Dray is my fav player by far. Not so many people understand how smart he is, his level of understanding the game. Andre in his book said Dray is a professor of the game. And he brings some heart and world-class D. I really hope JTA will bounce to at least some level of Dray as he was last season.

IMO everyone got lazy by depending on directions from Draymond instead of learning & now they can't win without him. They don't have to win every game but the inconsistency & lack of focus is disturbing and will not win championships.

@@carolmiller5713 Can't win without him makes it sound like they were hurling towards Laker ball in his absence. He is an indispensable presence to the fortunes of the Dubs. No question. But the team has been forced to step up and will be far better upon his return. I just think of Kevon Looney, whoa, I mean sheesh is that going to be an even tougher pair to overcome when Dray returns? Their record since Jan 1 is 14-8. Hardly subpar with an exceptional win - maybe their best win this year - against the Spurs in SA. So "can't win" is a wee bit of an embellishment, don't you think?

Those people are either stupid, don't know how the Warriors play, or just haters. As a basketball fan, it is very difficult not to appreciate this dude's play.
Leadership is the single most important virtue or sports gem possessed only by the likes of Dreymund. He leads and stills discipline. Exudes true basketball player’s strong will.
How important is Draymond to the W's? He's the composer of the orchestra, the guy in the team meeting who always knows what to say. How important is bread to a sandwich. They both hold everything together
i was just arguing with someone about this. They’re main point was Steph is the absolute most important piece. I told him “Steph is first fiddle, there’s no argument there. But Dray is the conductor.”
I was never a Fan of Draymond until I started hearing his interviews. He’s one of the most intelligent and “I’ll say it like it is” people I’ve ever heard.
this dude, can always link the current video to his next one, I cannot stop watching all of his videos, man.
E... Ssential! The heart & soul of the warriors! Leadership and Rodman like tenacity. Essential power forward. Two way player, unselfish and very well spoken. His utility is ever expanding. I would be surprised if they don't groom him to take over for Kerr in say 5/6 years. I have had increasing respect as I hear his public speaking and yes, Dray don't play... Bring it on game day.
I'm already excited to see how the warriors play when Dray plays again.

I absolutely agree with Klay here, Draymond really does things that don't show up in the box score and that is the most underrated thing about him. He's the floor general and the defensive anchor of this team. He leads the Warriors vocally, he's the heart and soul. If we want to win the championship this season and possibly the next, we definitely need Draymond healthy in the time when the playoffs start.

Ultimate glue guy!
Draymond has great playmaking skills to go with his defense. Having the luxury of having great shooters around him maximizes his skillset

Because they are good without him. 11-6 since Jan 9 is still playoff basketball. Not top seed, but still would win a berth. If the Warriors were to actually NOT have Draymond Green there would be a vacancy that would likely to be filled with a very, very good player. It's hard to say they aren't good without looking at the whole organization. It's also hard to really assess a team's strength when they are not at full strength. The Lakers are at full strength. What do they have going for them? The Warriors have not been at full strength for the whole season and have the second best record in the NBA. When the Dubs full roster comes online the Suns are their only real competition. As it is now? The Suns and the Grizzlies might be their only real competition in playoff basketball. I would say the Bucks but the Suns just dissected them on national TV. The Warriors will know how to exploit their weaknesses. Think Detroit/Lakers 2004 finals.

Draymond is extremely vital to the Warriors. I agree with everyone regarding to his basketball IQ.
Dray is a player who doesnt score a lot but someone youd want on the floor, him and steven adams are underrated for what they do on the court
Ty
Now cp3 is on the warriors you got a sub gang
You can see the struggles that my Dubs are having ever since Dray went on the shelve. You can also see that our Defense is not the same without Dray. Dub Nation is waiting patiently for the return of Dray and the young gun Wiseman to the line up. The League is on notice.
He's essential. They can't win a championship without Green. He's integral to the Warriors success. Simple as that.
nice
The highest basketball IQ I have EVER seen. He coaches his peers…on and off the court.
"Green in my opinion is like CP3 to the Phoenix Suns. CP3 isn't as explosive as Booker when it comes to scoring but the way he controls the game and the impact that he creates whenever he's on the floor translates to winning basketball" GREAT ANALOGY ❤️

Its like you have a playing coach when you have dray in your lineup
It's funny how things have turned around for him. I was never one to jump on the triple single bandwagon but certainly there were plenty of times in those 3 seasons were it honestly didn't look like Dray was worth his contract anymore. You never expected him to fill up the stat sheet but he looked bad. The jump shot was completely gone (and largely still is btw), he had no desire or ability to attack the rim, nor post up. On offense the only thing he could do was pass and most every team knew that hence why the smarter teams just sagged all the way off him and jumped the passing lanes. Then even on defense the effort would come and go frequently even if the IQ was always there. This season he's really switched on and the team misses him bad. His 3 ball isn't ever coming back but at least he takes the wide open ones every now and then and the fake hand off has become a staple of his once again. But all the intangibles highlighted in the video are true and then some. His role and the change in the coaching staff combined with the roster moves is why we have the number 1 defense in the league. And that seems to be sticking whether he is on and off the floor.
mastermind of the team...
Yes.
Draymond going to be a future coach in the nba, just watch.
That's like asking how important is oxygen to a person.

It's pretty sad that the Warriors can't get wins against "beatable" teams because one guy is out. Draymond's uniqueness & leadership seems to have been taken for granted & instead of players learning how to play, they waited for directions from Draymond. Suns were missing Ayton & other players and didn't miss a beat. Guess Suns have the "championship mindset" to win the play-offs.

Draymond needs a statue along with curry and klay
mvp
Greene Thompson and curry, they are the gsw now..
When Draymond Green retires, he will be a great coach, because he has intelligence and vision on the court, and he is learning a lot from Steve
I question coaching ALL-THE-TIME. They've got the pieces. JTA should be cloned into a Dray replacement. Poole already proved he can let Steph/Klay take a break. Porter/Moody should be Klay 2.0, Kuminga should be a wing to switch out with Wiggs. GPayton sharpen up his 3s and be the guy (like Klay was) to take on the teams best ball handler/shooter. IF Wise can step in healthy, with a 'Shaq' attitude this team wins 3 - 4 more rings..that's 11 players, a playoff roster. The bench? - DLee, Iggy, and G league Quin D (was major in the Christmas win over Suns). Tell Bob Meyers they NEEED another BIG. Right now - Beli, Loony - the weakest links.
The warriors team will probably not be as successful as they are now without DRAYMOND...........Its time to give him the respect he deserves.
goodshit
do we have coach Kerr and Phil jackson 's playbook against the bulls yea maybe. sorry no hand checking, then Jordan will go crazy on us

His max contract will be $2.5 M increase. Isn't that less than cost of living inflation? All three core players have taken pay cuts, right?

But can you honestly say in today’s game anyone else has his impact on the playmaking and defensive end, I could honestly say Giannis now and that’s probably the name I should’ve said instead of Lebron. because he can truly guard 1-5 for any given night whereas lebron could only guard the 5 for a limited time even in his prime. But regardless, I don’t think Golden state needs more scoring considering they got 4 people that can go for 30+ on any given night including Wiggins who replaced KDs role of being an above the rim threat as well as being a great shooter everywhere on the court. So replacing draymonds spot with a superstar would be redundant and destroy their salary cap
The captain is curry.. stop all this shit. No team can go 9 game winning streak without its captain. When curry was out dray couldnt even lead them to a respectable record. 2019/20 15-50. Last year when curry had the taulbone injury 1-4. Stop all this crap.. warriors with curry and dray never won 9 straight games because dray cant score.

They can go 1 and 4 with that same captain too, while seeing their defensive rating plummet. No Draymond and playoff wins become very difficult. Regular season win streaks (on a long home-stand) against majority sub-500 teams are meaningless if the goal is winning in the finals.
Draymond is as important as Stephen Curry and other GSW. His suspension during the series vs Cleveland Cavaliers caused them the Championship. His defense, rebounding and passing is needed.
