2. Draymond Green
It might be slightly controversial to have Draymond Green ahead of Zach Randolph, but Draymond Green is a future Hall of Famer in my opinion. He's a four-time NBA All-Star, two-time All-NBA, eight-time All-Defensive teamer, and four-time NBA champion. Those are some incredible achievements for a guy who many knock because he's not an offensive juggernaut.
Draymond is easy to overlook when talking about NBA stars because he doesn't average 20 points per game nor does he shoot an impressive clip from the floor. But he does all the little things and Warriors fans, players, and coaches would tell you that they don't win four titles without Draymond.
There's a reason he's paid so much money by one of the best organizations in the league. He's the glue that holds it all together.
Although he's had plenty of head-shaking moments and truly unacceptable incidents, he has been one of the league's most versatile players and best defenders since he first put on a Warriors jersey. And the success didn't happen right away. It took him a good 2-3 years to adjust to the NBA after graduating from Michigan State.
In his career, he's averaging 8.7 points, 7.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.3 steals, and 1.0 blocks. He even finished seventh in MVP voting back in 2015-16 when the Warriors won their first of four titles with him. Draymond is truly one of a kind.
