Draymond Green - Defensive Dynamo

[@ninjachannel007]

Not only does this guy hustle non-stop, but he plays smart help D and is hardly ever caught out of position.

[@gregmorrison3168]

Green might only be 6' 7" tall, but he has an impressive 7' 1.25" wingspan (measured at the draft combine) and he puts those long arms to good use. This is the main reason he blocks so many shots, gets so many steals, and is able to guard taller, longer players.

[@hezhang4442]

smart, tenacious, mean, quick to guard the perimeter while strong enough to hold the post. keeps moving, covers all parts of the court but always steady on his feet. he may not shine on the stat sheets, but anyone a real basketball fan shall appreciate this guy's defense.

[@dobiesf]

Some people believe defense is all measured by stats. That is just wrong.

[@ZedEnd83]

small and fast enough to defend 2 & 3, tenacious and strong enough to bang with 4 & 5 - he's the perfect body type in small-ball era NBA

[@jaysonwilson2697]

Moves his feet so well for his body type. Super intelligent defensively

[@amirmorales620]

He was the real DPOY

[@chefcurry3044]

W

[@devvv4616]

damm him and Curry seem like such a great duo. It's either he gets the steal and Curry leaks out. Or He bothers the ball handler and Curry gets the steal. Curry defensive awareness underrated. That first gsw champion squad was such a legendary team, amazing depth with guys like Barbosa etc..

[@cayanokur6811]

Love this channel. You pick up on things others miss. Good work!

[@aleksandrlitver7262]

Great highlights! Draymond is one of the few players to watch now! Thanks a lot!

[@zxtqwwr0]

If you ask me, he is the best defender,because he can guard the perimeter and either the post

[@daxecutioner24]

his close up and slid on defense is superbly fast

[@Daily0Dylan]

Clips like the ones from 3:54 to 4:37 are why I love this channel. Plays that don't show up in the stat sheet.

[@531cuk]

The new rodman!

[@23aceballer]

How many guys can block Jamal Crawford on a jumper and successfully guard a Zach Randolph in the post?

[@Miltonman100]

Josh Smith can

[@97Andrewjs]

Miltonman100 Josh smith is not the defender draymond is

[@Miltonman100]

Andrew Singer lol i know but Josh Smith can do that

[@97Andrewjs]

Miltonman100 I didn't say he couldn't, i just said that draymond is clearly a better defender than josh smith

[@Miltonman100]

Andrew Singer I agree with you 110% lol Smith is capable of locking down but he lacks effort alot of times

[@ninjachannel007]

Listen for the "Get that shit down!" several times throughout.

[@chrislee232445]

I think Green's best defensive skill is to force his opponent take the tough shots,blocks is relatively minor part of his defensive talent

[@halstevens7862]

D. GREEN is a BOSS.

[@kaili919]

That was an amazing 9minutes

[@Hexboyfren]

Good video, lol It's a shame Charles Barkley said this kid was "too soft". Makes me wonder why we respect his opinion on basketball at all

[@FavreianVengeance]

Shawn Johnson Don't know if he's soft; but he's definitely over-hyped. There's no way this guy is DPOY.

[@casterma]

FavreianVengeance Your stupid.

[@hdjsui]

People are wrong sometimes Charles Barkley knows what he's talking about 60% of the time

[@thespasmaniandevil]

nothing has changed

[@MrPranker247]

Can you make a Klay Thompson video

[@youtubecommentator6646]

8:15 Brooklyn fans cheer Warriors' Curry?

[@buster60341]

He remind me a lot like Anthony Mason!

[@kamerontaylor5347]

What's draymond green build??

[@XNW]

mannn there are some great DPOY candidates... Kawhi is one of them, he can guard 3 positions or so and lock them down... then you have like Green's versatility in this video and I even like Duncan's ability to guard the rim too but hes prob too old to win it now... I wouldn't mind DPOY Co winners between Kawhi and Green

[@FavreianVengeance]

***** Green is nowhere near as good of a defender as Kawhi. The games missed are over-stated. KL's defense was head and shoulders better. You really want to give DPOY to a much lesser candidate cos he missed a few games with injuries at the start of the season? Look at the last 20 games of the season; Spurs best defensive team with Kawhi turning up the juice.

[@technocumbia1827]

Can DG guard Lebron or steph

[@EvinGualberto]

brandon vasquez Draymond's just physical enough that he would bother LeBron, while being able to blow up the pick and rolls he loves to run. As for Steph, probably, in as much as anyone can guard Steph. Having to guard Steph in practice has probably helped improve his already solid perimeter defending. Then again, the point of the video was that he can lock a guy down reliably for stretches (except ZBo, but again, Dray is really only 6'5''), and that he doesn't do one thing on defense at an elite level, but defensively, he does EVERYTHING at an above average rate.

[@sirm.a.r.s4640]

XNW Kawhi earned it. Green can't guard elite players or quick players. Kawhi heckled chris paul, Durant, LeBron, and westbrook that's dam good company.

[@ddavis7561]

+XNW Kawhi can guard 3 positions but so what when Draymond can guard ALL 5?! As for DPOY, it was neck-and-neck. Personally I think Draymond should've won it but Kawhi deserved it too so it's tough to say

[@MrXzackXattack]

Bulls could have this guy, but instead drafted Marquis Teague. Damn it

[@mrcoolguy2530]

Hate to say it but if I'm not mistaken, did Klay Thompson travel at 2:35? Lol

[@DatMexIcan234]

Jorge Valle i saw it tooo he took 5 steps!!!!!!!!!

[@evNSteel]

+Jorge Valle Pulled a real lebron there

[@chookalatemuffin]

+King Steel That looked like 5 steps. You have to do 7 steps if you want to do it like lebron.

[@JohnOFit]

Yo man, I've been requesting a video of kawhi Leonard defense for over a month and you still haven't done it yet

[@GugaGDFABC]

John Oladokun He said that there is going to be a video for Kawhi's defense soon.

[@Hexboyfren]

Be patient he'll have one

[@EvinGualberto]

John Oladokun hey man, I can tell you I'm actually close to done with the Kawhi video. I don't owe you anything and nothing happens if I don't put this video out there, but I can tell you I'm proud of what I have so far. With Kawhi, it's so hard to actually cut clips down and even leave certain things out, so I ended up deciding to make two separate videos. One's going to be devoted to his regular season defense, and another will be just for the playoffs.

[@crtsbrown3]

Evin Gualberto Thank you for the great work!

[@ninjachannel007]

Evin Gualberto We b-ball pundits appreciate your dedication to defensive vids. I've been looking for lockdown vids for years. I assume Tony Allen is in the mix, and maybe Jim Butler?

[@olapharm8693]

lol this guy having a go at hassan Whiteside loool joke.

[@punjabdamunda1]

bbb

[@ramonamorgan207]

Draymond Green do not got no defense cuz he just week
