NBA Predictions Part VII

This years defensive player of the year is Draymond Green. The man has meant so much to Golden State and teams success, especially on the defensive end. Green starts at the power forward position for the Warriors and is able to guard almost anyone on the court. He is averaging eight rebounds and a little more than a block and a steal per game. His defensive rating is near 100, and doing all this for the best team in the league makes him a clear candidate. Players like Anthony Davis, Tim Duncan and Tony Allen should get consideration, but none play for the best team in the league, and none guard as many different positions as Green.

NBA All-Star selections

I'm excited for the NBA all-star game. Well, maybe not for the actual game, but to see who makes the team. It's always interesting to break down who made it over who, and especially the guards who will inevitably be left out in the western conference. Hopefully those who deserve it will make the team, but there will be some who will not due to players like Carmelo Anthony, who have the statistics, but not the wins to show for it. If Atlanta has three guys make the team I'm happy, and if Draymond Green makes the team I'm even happier.
