Warriors are true contenders if Draymond Green's unlikely improvement lasts

The Golden State Warriors have looked like one of the NBA's best teams to start the season, starting 4-1 and taking down four Western Conference playoff teams from last season. In the process, Draymond Green has demonstrated a newfound shooting touch -- and one that could raise the Warriors' ceiling into the stratosphere of contention.

In five games to start the year, Green is shooting 45 percent from deep on four 3-point attempts per game. The accuracy is by far the best of his career, while he has only ever hit this volume of attempts once before back in 2014-15.
