Reply to comment by synthjunkie in Draymond Green-Jordan Poole video shows Warriors stars’ altercation by ANTristotle

Clearly you know nothing about NBA basketball except the stats. Dude is a monster on D. You can replace a Klay, you can't replace this gebroni. Dude has the intangibles that don't show on the stat sheet.

Thats bullshit. Just an excuse to prop him up without backing it up.

The real reason Draymond can play decent D is because Steph tires the other team down. Basically, everyone says Steph is a stamina beast as he runs around constantly . This is why the Warriors best quarters are always in the 3rd or 4th. The other team is worn down from Stephs offense. Klay adds the icing on the cake. Draymond is just getting carried.

No it's actually just a fact. When dray is off the floor their D is average. When he's on the floor they have one of the best Ds in the last 25 years.

I'm gonna side with the best front office in NBA who disagrees with you. They clearly understand his value and that's why they made him one of the top 50 highest paid players in the league.

"Dude is so good you can't even quantify it in stats to prove it." LOL what? There are math wizards and dorks who calculate this shit for a living and bleed numbers. There are zero intangibles in pro sports that can't be quantified and directly translated to contract value.

A pretty sweet intangible would be x(will my teammate deck me?) = nullvalue?

I think the warriors calculated it when they kept him on the team.

He's a piece of shit

He's also a career positive on the floor

Probably but he said, "intangibles that don't show on the stat sheet" - and you said "calculated it". I am saying they definitely did which means it does, for sure, show on their stat sheet. That's how they calculated it.

The idea that players in pro sports, for that much $$, have any "intangibles" is laughable and everyone should stop saying it. Including broadcasters.

Oh yeah, well it's kinda different things I guess... traditional stat sheet doesn't show things like the Hustle plays to recover a loose ball, or deflections

But those things really aren't all that intangible anymore, they track most of these stats

Though even still something like "the defense is better with him on the floor because he is the vocal leader and calls out where the help is and rotates well forcing the offense into worse shots" is both sorta intangible and also something the warriors coaches definitely see
