Draymond Green is a special kind of player. Unlike most of today's stars, the Golden State Warriors forward isn't much of a scorer. Where Green makes his name, though, is literally everything else on the court. The do-it-all forward has become one of the most versatile two-way players in the league, with a penchant for blowing up opposing offenses.

Draymond Green's heroics for the Warriors in Game 3 of their first playoff series this year against the Denver Nuggets showcase his talents completely. Tasked with guarding reigning MVP Nikola Jokic, the Warriors star locked him up late in the game to seal the win for the team. His two late steals put him in rarefied air in NBA history.

Green is arguably the most important player on this Warriors squad, and for good reason. With a team full of scoring threats, one guy has to be the facilitator of the offense. Green's high IQ allows him to create plays for his stars to eat, as he's a savant at making reads on the court.

That high basketball IQ also translates well on defense. Aside from his quick feet and arms, the Warriors star is able to use his smarts to predict his opponent's plays on the court. This all-around production from Green makes him an invaluable part of this core, as they look to get back into the NBA Finals again.

At this point, all eyes are on the Warriors' scoring core of Jordan Poole, Stephen Curry, and Klay Thompson. Green will happily take a backseat to these guys if it means getting a chance at a fourth ring.
