Elite?
To me, that implies being capable of being a #1.
If that's the case, Pistons should throw the bag at him
NBA has been littered with elite defensive players and facilitators who never a #1.
Warriors credit Draymond Green with saving their season

NBA has been littered with elite defensive players and facilitators who never a #1.
Warriors just lost 5 road games to 5 teams with winning records while 2 of their top 3 scorers were out. Pretty much what would happen to any team in the league.
+/- yet again proves the article's point though, even on a bad night. Tonight the Warriors were an ugly -14 in 26 minutes with Draymond on the court, but a far worse -24 in 22 minutes with Draymond on the bench. His -14 was the best +/- of anyone in the starting lineup and twice as good as half the lineup (Klay was -28, Poole was -27, Kuminga was -23, Wiseman was -29).
They simply play better when he's on the court. But no team is going to do great in a six-game road trip against almost entirely winning teams with 2 of the top 3 scorers missing.

golden state 2-7 in their past 9 games. Only win against the celtics at home, and beating the bum ass bottom tier raptors team. 6/7 of thier losses have been by double figures
You just know how much this board has been hurting with Dray winning half of the championships over the last eight years. Desperation to bump threads ignoring all context to seek out a moral victory.

They're missing Steph, Klay, AND Wiggins and their last 6 losses have all been to winning teams on the road.
Literally no one in the NBA succeeds under those conditions. The more y'all talk, the more y'all expose yourselves.
Dray without Steph beat Harden's Rockets and took a 2-1 lead on Dame's Blazers.
Except they do. The Clippers are a prime example.They're missing Steph, Klay, AND Wiggins and their last 6 losses have all been to winning teams on the road.

Clippers had a good bench and aren't missing their top three scorers for the good games. They've beat one or two shytty teams.
Warriors lost their bench in the offseason and now lost almost the whole starting lineup outside of Dray, and are on a two-week road trip against playoff teams. They just won against the one bad team they played too.
The impact on their rosters hasn't been remotely comparable. You would know this if you actually followed sports and didn't just treat it like your favorite soap opera.
