Draymond Green won’t be adding any individual hardware to his shelf this year — well, unless he wins NBA Finals MVP, which I’m here for — but the Golden State Warriors star is still getting commended for his outstanding play.
On Monday afternoon, the league announced that Memphis Grizzlies power forward Jaren Jackson Jr. had been named the 2022-23 Defensive Player of the Year, which was the expected outcome.
But Green wasn’t too far behind, as he finished fourth in the voting, behind second-place finisher Brook Lopez of the Milwaukee Bucks, and third-place finisher Evan Mobley of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
