Lowe's 10 things: Unique genius from Draymond Green and introducing ... the NBA's "Yoink!" god

In this week's 10 things, we reveal newfound genius from Draymond Green, startling nostalgia for the ol' catch-and-shoot midranger and an introduction to the NBA's "Yoink!" god.

1. Draymond Green, eating up space again

The Green who once averaged 14 points and shot league average from deep is gone, but the current version will do just fine. Green is shooting 60% on 2s, and attacking the rim with a snarling bounce that hasn't been there since the Warriors were the Warriors.

Defenders ignore Green on the perimeter. Green's usual counter is pivoting into lightning-fast handoffs with Golden State's best shooters; if Green's defender is sagging 15 feet away, there is no one to meet Stephen Curry on the other side of those handoffs.
