Still, even despite Draymond's growth into a superstar, he hasn't forgotten where he came from, or apparently who came before him. When the San Jose Mercury News asked him whether he knew the names of the players drafted ahead of him in 2012, he recited them by name, in order, without a piece of paper.
Again, we all know why Draymond fell in the draft that year, but at the same time it really is incredible to look at some of the names who came before him. For every one that's justified (Anthony Davis, Andre Drummond, Damian Lillard) there are guys like Arnett Moultrie and Fab Melo who aren't in the NBA at all any more."First was Anthony Davis to New Orleans," he says. "Then Charlotte took (Michael) Kidd-Gilchrist. Then Washington took Bradley Beal. Fourth was Cleveland: Dion Waiters."Eight was Toronto: Terrence Ross ..."Sixteen was Houston: Royce White ...By the time he's done, Green has reeled off the names of all 34 players selected ahead of him and the corresponding team.
Still, what was everyone else's loss was Golden State's gain, as Green has evolved into one of the best players in the league.
