After a frustrating start to the season, Warriors All-Star forward Draymond Green has turned a corner for his squad. With both Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson dealing with respective long-term injuries, Green has recently stepped in as the newest Splash Brother, draining multiple 3-pointers per ballgame in what has turned out to be a very impressive run for the 6-foot-6 forward per NBC Sports' Drew Shiller.

The Warriors have won four out of their last six games, and there is no doubt that Draymond Green has played a crucial role in his quad's recent success. Over this stretch, the former Defensive Player of the Year winner has averaged 11.7 points (on 41.0 percent shooting), 8.2 rebounds, 6.2 assists, 1.0 steals, and 1.0 blocks, while also connecting on 1.3 3-pointers on a 33.3-percent clip. Green has knocked down exactly two 3-pointers per game over the last four.

The three-time All-Star flirted with a triple-double, logging 10 points, 10 rebounds, and nine assists, along with a steal and a block. It would not be enough, though, with a resilient Spurs side coming away with a tightly-contested overtime victory, 117-113.
Green has been dealing with several injuries over the past couple of months, but he now appears to be close to one hundred percent. Then again, with how the Warriors are looking like this season, it would not be surprising if the 29-year-old veteran eventually gets shut down by the team at some point down the stretch.
