Draymond is cited as a catalyst for defense-first value, with fantasy relevance rising when his playmaking and steals pace the Warriors’ next-wave scorers, though his scoring ceiling is bounded by role and pace.

Green embodies the Warriors’ cerebral, defense-first approach, elevating Curry and Thompson through smart play, leadership, and selfless decision-making that underpins four championships.

Green’s veteran presence anchors the defensive identity around Curry and Butler. His playmaking and defensive versatility keep the Warriors competitive, but Kuminga’s status and Looney’s departure could test Green’s role as a facilitator and switch artist. Green’s fantasy value hinges on rebound and assist consistency amid a shifting cast.

Green pushes back at Sengun’s off-court critique with terse social jabs, underscoring his reputation for using perceived slights as fuel. The clash sets up a marquee matchup against Sengun with playoff-style potential, especially as Houston adds Durant to the fold. Green’s influence on defense and pace could dictate how Houston spaces the floor and how Golden State attacks Sengun in the half-court.

Green is cited as another benchmark of second-round success, illustrating the ceiling some players achieve from later picks. Clarkson’s arrival is framed in a context where players conquered late in drafts can become cornerstone contributors, reinforcing the fantasy value of late-round picks who develop into reliable producers.
