    Will Kome settle down now and focus on doing what's best for the team?

    Everybody knew Draymond Green was good, they just thought he was undersized and underathletic. The usual story - as you said, it's why Wes wasn't drafted.

    What's interesting is that he's playing as a PF when he was supposed to be a SF. In theory, somebody tall who can shoot (Nowitzki, Aldridge) should eat him alive. But, like Chuck Hayes, he's carved out a niche.

    What will the Warriors do with David Lee, though? I bet they're trying like hell to find a taker before it becomes an issue.

    (I looked up his description on DraftExpress and they have the following tweets:

    DraftExpress: Why did Marc Jackson have a slow-footed power forward like Draymond Green guarding Andre Miller in that situation? Strange
    2013-04-20 20:10:25DraftExpress: At the Celtics-Warriors game. "Big men" currently on the court Carl Landry Draymond Green Chris Wilcox Jeff Green. Size what?
    2013-03-01 21:02:58DraftExpress: Draymond Green drafted by Golden State at #36. Solid pick for them. Another guy that will stick around for the long haul.
    2012-06-28 10:47:04DraftExpress: Highest slated players on our mock still available, going into the 2nd round: Draymond Green (#26), Jeff Taylor (#28), Will Barton (#29)

    Single handedly killing FG% for my fantasy team. I hope he passes more now that he got his points.

    Also, did Karl Malone ever get the pub that Kobe has gotten when he passed MJ?

    Isaiah Thomas is Nate Robinson II. (Not just because he's a short gunner: he will bounce around and the team that loses him will improve while the team that gains him will get worse.)

    High volume gunners who call their own number a lot shouldn't also be the ball handler... If your bench gunner is a wing player, that's another story.

    That appears to be the case. Poor Suns.

    Yep. Portland would kill GS in a playoff series because of Aldridge. Wes/Dame can hang with Klay/Curry but Draymond can't handle LaMarcus.

    Memphis is controlling this as well as they could right now and only up one. Feels like a game for title of best current team.
