If Draymond is drafted by any other team in the league he is a journeyman defensive player who barely makes MLE money. No one is running an offense through him if he's on any other team.

Your point is being lost due to exaggeration, but Draymond likely never makes 20+ mill per season if he's drafted by any other team. He's an elite role player who is on a team where that is very important. If he was drafted by the Hornets, who knows what type of player he ends up being? Maybe he takes more of an offensive role and isn't nearly as effective (he isn't a very good offensive player), and if he's putting that much effort into the offensive side of the ball it's likely his defense would suffer. He's in an ideal situation for his skill set, and wouldn't be nearly as valuable for teams other than the Warriors (and maybe a couple others).

Look at his 2020-2021 numbers and that is what you get from him at PEAK on another team without 2 of the greatest shooters to ever play the game.

A good defensive player who is a net negative offensively.

This is the correct point IMO.
