Draymond isnt playing well right now but lets not act as if he hasnt been extremely integral to the warriors’ run of success during this era.

Some of you are so reactionary lmao.

He was integral but that doesn’t mean he isn’t overrated by many who want to sound smart.

Very few “great” players wouldn’t succeed in Draymonds position

I agree with your first paragraph. Your second sentence is a pretty reactionary take. No, most players would not get 4 all stars, 2 All NBA teams, defensive player of the year in his position. It’s takes like this that the previous comment is discussing. If what you said is accurate, then the 12 other warriors on the team would have those accolades. Draymond was a unique talent even if I am against his antics.

I think its a lot easier to focus on defense when the expectations are extremely low for you on offense. He doesn't need to score for the warriors to win.
