Draymond Green: "When talking potential defense of Chet Holmgren, Victor Wembanyama, don't forget about Drew"
Green says he is the best defender in the league and should be in the conversation with Chet Holmgren, Victor Wembanyama
Warriors forward Draymond Green believes he is the best defender in the league and should be in the conversation with Chet Holmgren and Victor Wembanyama when discussing the best potential defenders.
Green made his comments on the latest episode of his podcast, "The Draymond Green Show." He was asked about Holmgren and Wembanyama, who are both considered to be generational talents on the defensive end. Green said that he respects both players, but he believes he is the best defender in the league right now.
"I think Chet Holmgren is a great player. I think Victor Wembanyama is a great player. But when you talk about the best potential defenders in the league, you have to put me in that conversation," Green said. "I'm the best defender in the league right now, and I'm not going to let anybody tell me any different."
Green has been one of the best defenders in the NBA for several years. He has been named to the All-Defensive Team seven times, including five times on the first team. He is also a two-time Defensive Player of the Year.
Green's comments are sure to spark debate. There are many great defenders in the NBA, but Green is one of the few who can guard all five positions on the floor. He is also one of the most versatile defenders in the league, as he can guard both in the post and on the perimeter.
It is still early in Holmgren and Wembanyama's careers, but they both have the potential to be special defenders. Holmgren is a 7-foot center with a 7-foot-6 wingspan. He is a great shot-blocker and rebounder. Wembanyama is a 7-foot-3 center with a 7-foot-9 wingspan. He is also a great shot-blocker and rebounder. He is also a very good athlete.
It will be interesting to see how Holmgren and Wembanyama develop over the next few years. They both have the potential to be elite defenders. However, Green is still the best defender in the league right now. He is a one-of-a-kind player who can impact the game on both ends of the floor.
