Yes, Draymond Green, who shot 30 percent from beyond the arc in the regular season, has made 18-of-33 3-pointers over his past six games.
Will it continue? Probably not — of course not. But in the meantime, his hot hand is leaving Golden State’s opponents in no-man’s land — do they close out on Green, opening themselves up to him putting the ball on the floor and creating off the dribble, or do they just let him keep shooting? As if they didn’t have enough to worry about with the Warriors’ offense…
In all, Green has an effective field goal percentage of 67 percent this postseason — better than LeBron, Kawhi Leonard, and Curry (but on half the usage of those three, to be fair).
No player who averages 35 minutes per game this postseason has a higher net rating than Green, either: when he’s on the court, the Warriors average 117 points per 100 possessions — opponents come in at 94.
By the time Utah figures out the best worst-case scenario to the Draymond conundrum, the series will probably be over and it will be San Antonio or Houston’s problem.
