re: Draymond Green says Kelly Olynyk is a dirty player: "I don’t respect guys like that.

I didn't say he wasn't a great defender. But a team with him as your best player is probably one of the five worst teams in the league. How many other all-stars are we saying that about?

When you mean best player do you mean best all around player or are you really trying to say best offensive player?

Because if Draymond is your #1 scoring threat, then you'd be fricked, but no one really praises him for that. He's solid scorer, with good ball handling, and elite defense.

You put Dray and IT on the same team and I'd say Dray is the best player on the team, but that team (assuming competent bench and role players) is a middle of the pack team at worst. Not bottom 5.

You're mistake is assuming that Dray being the best player on the team also means he has to be the go to scoring threat.

ETA: going off my pairing of IT and Dray...replace Al Horford with Draymond Green and the Celtics are a better version of themselves and I'd say that Draymond is a better player than anyone on the Celtics right now.
