The Golden State Warriors are on top of the basketball world right now as they continue to demolish every team they face nightly. Now, the Dubs are riding a 17 game winning streak and it is no secret that reigning MVP Stephen Curry is behind their success.
However, what many fans don't know is that they got another top 10 player in the league playing for them and that is Draymond Green, at least for team executive and Hall of Famer Jerry West.
He said this during an interview with KNBR Radio and West claims Draymond Green is hands down a superstar and is right there with his teammate, Stephen Curry.
"I think honestly we have two of the top 10 players in the league-Draymond Green is the second one. He's the most underrated player in the NBA, period," West said. "There are very few players, I think, anyone in our organization would trade for him. He's just a remarkable player. Watch him handle the ball, watch him make passes, defensively he's everywhere. If he's not a top-10 player in this league, I don't know who is."
Some might disagree with that as Green is not averaging All-Star numbers. He is only averaging 12.8 ppg, 7.9 rpg and 6.8 apg but his impact is more than what the stat sheet shows.
With that said, fans over at Bleacher Report weighed in on West's statement and some easily named ten players who are better than Green right now. Here's what user Henry D has to say.
"Curry, LeBron, Durant, Davis, Westbrook, Griffin, Harden, Paul, PG, Kawhi, Cousins, that's 11 right off the top of my head. Which one is Draymond better than again?" the user wrote.
Do you agree with West's statement? Or is he better than some of the players mentioned above? Sound off in the comment box below.
