Making the cover of Sports Illustrated is one of those “You have made it” moments for an athlete and boy has former Michigan State forward Draymond Green made a name for himself in the National Basketball Association. Green has become a better pro player every year since 2012, and this year has experienced breakout success. How large? He can name all 34 players taken ahead of him in the 2012 NBA Draft – in order. Then Washington took Bradley Beal.

Sure, Green watches game film to prepare for opponents, but he also watches basketball in his free time – WNBA games, to be more precise. I don’t even know about what. He wound up on a fantastic Golden State Warriors team but it took a long time for it to happen.

For that reason, Myers dismissed the notion that Green, a second-round draft pick, was too small to play inside and not skilled enough for the perimeter.

“I know why I had to wait”. He’s maxed out his potential’. He plays nearly just like me. “But I knew I wasn’t normal”.

Draymond was the runner-up for Defensive Player of the Year each of the last two seasons. I’m not saying I’m cocky or anything, but I felt like I had to wait behind guys I was better than. I think he has to get out of that.
