Which current NBA players are breaking the mold? There’s superstars like LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Anthony Davis and a handful of others, but which stars are defined by how they change NBA drafting strategies and team construction?
I could argue that Draymond Green is the defining player of this generation in that he’s a pass-first defensive stalwart who rips apart opponents with great passing and ruins every one else’s offensive possessions with physicality and smarts. He’s the axel grease that gets the Golden State offense in motion, while also forming the backbone of one of the league’s best defenses.
