Draymond Green is 67 and plays the center in the best lineup in league history. The NBA is a more positionless league than ever before. If he can guard a 5, Grant can be a productive NBA player
Several of the 80's teams or MJ's teams have better lineups then GSW. San Antonio with Robinson and Tim Duncan where better. Philly with Dr. J and Moses where better. GSW could not hope to stop the Bird Celtics bigs and Scottie, Michael and Rodman would have shut them down. GSW best in league history? Funny. Green would not start for most of the great teams from the 80's.

I don't doubt that is Grant's plan. He's a rare breed for sure.Not what Ive been told at all...in fact Grant has told staff and his academic counselors he wants to graduate this year so he can pursue his masters next year at UT.
Yes, that came from a member of the staff.Surprised you to hear it from who? The staff?

Go on.This is a poor argument for several reasons. The most obvious ones being the differences in playing style and the differences in the schemes in which they play in. Yes they are similar in size, but Draymond plays more of a point forward role similar to Tyler Smith in Bruce Pearls offense. Grant doesnt handle the ball outside of the paint, hes not an elite passer and he doesnt have a proven long range jumper.
Ill spare you and everyone else the rest of my 13 page narrative.

Then you were watching a different player...an elite passer wouldve averaged about 5apg given the attention he drew on the block.
Grant Williams is 6'7". Your image is not accurate because they aren't side by side.
I have stood next to Grant and I am 6'6 and he was slightly taller than me. (Unless his shoes were just much taller than mine)
Just because he doesn't get the assist doesn't mean he's not an elite passer.. Actually, I believe I remember a commentator calling him an elite passer last year during a game.

Seems like the NBA just drafts for potential these days. Grant is too short for the 4, not quick enough or not enough of a shot for the 3. Admiral is too short for the 3 and not quick enough for the 2. Alexander might be the player the NBA likes the most, but his shot will hold him back.
GSW Green would not start over the Lakers Green from the 80's and 90's. I know today's players are considered "more athletic" but it is night and day regarding the overall quality of teams. This Golden State team had the weakest inside game for an NBA champion I've seen. Yes the won the championship but Cleveland had almost no business being in the finals.
