This makes me think you have never watched the Warriors play or you just don't understand basketball. They run a lot of their offense through Draymond.

Steph and Klay are two of the best off the ball runners in the history of the game. It's not hard to sit there and pass them the ball as they whip around screen after screen.

I will give Draymond praise on how he rebounds and pushes the pace. That is about the only thing he does offensively that's a positive. He gives them absolutely nothing in the half court, and if his defense wasn't so elite he'd be almost unplayable he's so bad in the half court.

They run their offense "through" him in the half court b/c that's the best place to hide him so to say. When the ball is in his hands in the half court literally every 5 guys on the defense quit caring about him and are scouring to find where Steph or Klay or Poole are at. And when he doesn't have the ball no one is giving him any attention at any point other than making sure his man stays just close enough to not get a defensive penalty.


saying "they run a lot of their offense through him" in a positive way is something someone who just watches highlights and regurgitates what the media says would say.
