Draymond Green has been taking a lot of shots lately. Gary Payton was the first former player to take a stab at Green's play. Now another former player had some negative comments about Green.
Oscar Robertson had some harsh words for Draymond Green as he went on Siriux XM Radio the other day:
Oscar Robertson to SiriusXM: "Green's a good player, but he does not have the abil to go over & above what he needs to do to be successful."

The Big O would go on to say that Green is simply a product of the great play from Klay Thompson and Steph Curry. Robertson seems to have the belief that Green isn't as good as he is made out to be.
Robertson also commented on the lack of intensity that Green has:
Oscar Robertson to SiriusXM on vocal Draymond Green "You talk & you talk & you talk, u eventually got to get in there & throw some punches."

This quote from Oscar might not have as much truth behind it. There may not be a more intense player than Draymond Green in this league, but there is some doubt circulating around his play this series. He's shooting 34.5% from the field and 14.3% from deep and just doesn't look like the same player. While his play has declined, his intensity doesn't seem to be in doubt.
If anything Robertson said does have some truth behind it, then Green is going to have to get back to normal to give the Golden State Warriors a reasonable chance of winning this series.
