Is Draymond Green the Best PF in the NBA?

[Dro]

Serious question.

[ShawkFactory]

All around? It's quite possible

[dubnation]

Yes, given there's another play on the team that can handle a high scoring load. I don't think Draymond would be the best if you threw him on a team with a bunch of scrubs, but on a good team he makes everything easier for everyone else.

[Klay 3D]

He's 6'7". I consider him a SF that can guard 1-5. A 4 by today's small-ball standard if you're physically and mentally tough. He's the best all-around SF and PF in the entire league. Triple double machine.

[ScalsFan21]

Dray is the best PF to have if you're trying to contend (IMO the best big man in the NBA, because he doesn't play like a traditional big). A guy like LMA may produce better scoring numbers on a scrub team and be able to create opportunities for himself with less help, maybe draw more defensive attention, but what good is a fringe playoff team with a ceiling of a 1st-round exit? Even with a respectable supporting cast the last few years he wasn't able to get that far in Portland.

Dray's impact just lends itself better to championship play due to his insane defensive prowess and versatility.

[Steven Kerry]

Arguably, but probably not.

[FKAri]

as a #2 or #3 option? yes.

[Akhenaten]

as a #2 or #3 option? yes.

EXACTLY.

Dude aint even top 5

[Papaya Petee]

No, I don't think he would be as good if he had to carry an offensive load as much.

Blake Griffin (healthy), Anthony Davis, LaMarcus Aldridge are all better IMO.

[RoseCity07]

Aldridge is better. Plus Draymond is really a small forward. He's a PF like Lebron is a PF. Real bigs abuse Draymond. But the league is small so it appears he can guard PFs.

as a #2 or #3 option? yes.

Draymond as a 2nd option would be a train wreck

wrong

there are almost no bigs in the league that abuse draymond

only bigs that have abused draymond in recent history are KAT and Whiteside...Aldridge can have his way with Green too if his shot is falling as well..that's about it...and those guys are more of centers than PF anyways

[Young X]

Yes he is. His impact is off the charts. I think he's possibly been a top 10 player this year.

Totally agree.

Well said.
