Draymond Green has been the butt of the joke throughout the NBA Finals so far as his antics either help or hurts his team. His stat lines have been nothing to brag about but Green still finds a way to play a vital role for the Golden State Warriors. Teammate Stephen Curry explains how Green is special for this organization's title hopes.
During a press conference with the media, Curry when into depth on how Draymond Green makes an impact for the Warriors. The stat line isn't the only aspect of basketball, as the veteran power forward makes unique plays that don't show up on the stat sheet. His ability to find the open teammate and play defense makes him a unique player that deserves playing time.
"Usually the high IQ guys figure it out, and he's at the top of that list when it comes to understanding the game of basketball."

With most of the scoring coming from Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins, and Jordan Poole, the Warriors need Draymond Green to maintain his current role. On top of the playmaking and defensive abilities, Green brings a ton of energy to the court as well that allows Golden State to remain competitive in every game.
Even though the Warriors' veteran power forward can get in trouble at times when mouthing off to the referees, his presence on the floor is needed for their championship run. Green has played a massive role in this organization's success and Golden State will continue leaning on him for his defensive prowess at the very least.
Keep an eye on the Warriors and Draymond Green, as they aim to take a 3-2 lead over the Boston Celtics on Monday. If they can do that, then Golden State will just be one win away from securing its fourth championship in eight years.
