Golden State Warriors power forward Draymond Green is shooting a career-low 20.6 percent from beyond the arc this season, and ESPN analyst Stephen A. Smith says that is going to have to change come postseason if the Warriors want to win their third-straight championship.

Smith says opposing teams are going to dare Draymond Green to shoot the basketball in the playoffs and that if he's not hitting his shots, Golden State is essentially going to be playing four on five basketball.

“He's got to shoot the basketball better,” Smith said. “Because if Draymond Green doesn't shoot the basketball better, you're at a disadvantage on four on five basketball. Because they'll just say the hell with this, we're going to leave him open. Let Draymond Green beat us.

“Now he can laugh about it and say he don't mind, but he's going to have to start making these shots. He is the key. If he can't start making shots, I don't think the Golden State Warriors can win the championship this year.”
