Throughout his career, Draymond Green has been among the best defenders in the world. The Golden State Warriors veteran is a former Defensive Player of the Year, a five-time All-NBA Defensive First Team and four-time All-NBA Defensive Second Team selection. His ability to read the floor and communicate with his teammates has arguably been his biggest skill since entering the NBA.
That’s why Green is often viewed as the best defensive player of his generation. Not because of his physical attributes, but due to his processing speed, basketball IQ and leadership qualities. He consistently elevates Golden State’s rearguard with his presence and the way he quarterbacks his teammates into position on a possession-by-possession basis.
In a recent upload from the Warriors’ YouTube channel, they shared a highlight reel of the best defensive possessions from Green throughout his illustrious career.
