Draymond Green's First-Round Preview
7 years agoGolden State Warriors power forward Draymond Green averaged 11 points per game on 45.4 percent shooting during the 2017-2018 NBA regular season to go along with 7.6 rebounds and 7.3 assists per game. In four games against Golden State's first-round opponent, the San Antonio Spurs, Green met his 11 points-per-game season average and shot 48.7 percent from the field. Green struggled from deep against the Spurs, making just three of his 16 shots from three. He averaged seven rebounds and 6.8 assists per game across those four meetings. Green is unlikely to find his stroke from long range against a Spurs team that allowed opponents to shoot the fourth lowest three-point field goal percentage during the regular season. Expect Green to do a lot of the dirty work for the Warriors in this series, but don't expect any huge scoring nights.
