Kirk Lacob reveals what convinced Warriors to draft Draymond Green

Heading into the 2012 NBA Draft, there were some major question marks regarding Michigan State forward Draymond Green.

According to Warriors executive vice president of basketball operations Kirk Lacob, who joined the Runnin' Plays podcast this week, they had the same questions.

"We all liked him as a player, but we all had the same questions and concerns that everyone else did," Lacob explained. "Like what position is he? Is he really athletic enough? Can he shoot well?"

So what convinced the Warriors to select Green with the No. 35 overall pick in the draft?

"One of the top five interviews we ever had was Draymond Green," Lacob said.
