Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green said Wednesday that teams deserve more criticism than they receive when high draft picks don't pan out.
When asked about forward Marquese Chriss' strong play this preseason, Green praised the 2016 No. 8 overall pick, per ESPN's Nick Friedell:
"Yeah, I don't think there was ever a doubt that he was a legitimate NBA player. I think everyone was just kind of waiting on him to turn that corner. He seems like he's turning the corner. I think he's been in some pretty tough situations.
