It has been said of any number of top-flight NBA defenders over the years: "He can guard all five positions." Warriors forward Draymond Green is among them, with one exception—he not only can, he does, sometimes in the same game.
Exactly how does a 6'7", 229-pound forward with average NBA foot speed and leaping ability make life miserable for point guards as explosive as Russell Westbrook and centers as mammoth as DeMarcus Cousins and everyone in between? A 7'1" wingspan certainly helps, but his success has far more to do with his wits than his reach.
