It’s the final weekend before the NBA regular season begins, which means you’re coming here for your fantasy basketball drafts.
Should you draft Draymond Green this season? Here’s the latest outlook, projections, and rankings for the GS Power Forward.
Should You Draft Draymond Green in Fantasy Basketball?
Draymond Green continues to anchor Golden State’s defense entering his age-36 season, remaining an invaluable real-life contributor even as his fantasy ceiling declines. Last year, he played 68 games and averaged 9.0 points, 6.1 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1.5 steals, 1.0 blocks, and 1.2 threes across 29.2 minutes. His defensive instincts and secondary playmaking remain elite, and his steal and block rates rebounded nicely as he logged more time at center.
The veteran earned his ninth All-Defensive Team selection while anchoring a Warriors defense that ranked near the top of the league after the All-Star break. Golden State added Al Horford to stabilize its frontcourt, while Jonathan Kuminga’s extension ensures Green can focus more on orchestrating and defending rather than heavy offensive usage. His efficiency remains modest, but he continues to fill the box score.
At this stage, Green profiles best as a late-round fantasy target who offers balanced contributions without standout scoring. Injuries and maintenance rest are ongoing risks, yet his consistent assists, rebounds, and defense-friendly stat lines keep him playable across formats.
