Golden State Warriors: 4 worst things from the Warriors season
By Jenny Lu
3. Draymond Green’s underwhelming performance
This season was Draymond Green’s chance to shine. With Kevin Durant gone, many fans assumed that Green would take this chance to revive his career. On the court, however, he just did not produce.
Some of Green’s best years with the Warriors were from 2015 to 2017. During the 2015-2016 season, Draymond averaged 49 percent field goals and a whopping 38 percent from deep. His 3-point field goal percentage, specifically, has dropped significantly from that season on. Currently, Green’s field goal percentage sits at 38.9 percent and his 3-point percentage has tanked to 27.9 percent.

Although some can argue that Draymond was immense under pressure without Steph and Klay, I think it’s safe to say that he is past his prime, especially from deep. Aside from his field goal and 3-point field goals, his numbers in other aspects of his game have gone down, including his passing, rebounds, and blocks.
Despite his underwhelming performance this year when the team needed him most, Draymond Green is still part of the Warriors’ Big 3, making his departure unlikely. Curry recently spoke out about his feelings about his team via Instagram Live, saying,
"“For us, big picture, we know we’re not done, myself, Klay, Draymond we know we’re not done. “"
Steph Curry’s comments speak for themselves, and we hope to see all three return next year.
