Andrei Kirilenko - The Most Portable Player in NBA History

Because of a combination of factors including injuries, Andrei Kirilenko had a short-lived prime between 2004 and 2006. During these years, Basketball Reference's BPM 2.0 shows that he was one of the most valuable players in the NBA. What exactly made him so valuable? Was he really that good on defense?
This video dives into his prime years to determine Kirilenko's strengths and weaknesses by directly comparing him to another Swiss army knife: Draymond Green. You'll see clips of his off-ball movement, shooting, passing, on-ball defense, transition defense, and hustle. By the end of the video, you will hopefully see that he is the most portable player in NBA history.
