Draymond Green Reconsiders: Admits Wembanyama's Defensive Brilliance

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green has had a change of heart regarding his stance on San Antonio Spurs rookie sensation Wembanyama’s candidacy for Defensive Player of the Year.

A Shift in Perspective

One month ago, Green revealed his doubt about Wembanyama’s candidacy with the argument for the Raptors defensive rank. But Green moved back on Wednesday and stated that regardless of what he thought about the rookie’s defense, it was rookie’s great talent.

Impressive Performance Against Nuggets

Obviously, with Wembanyama’s recent game against Denver Nuggets, there was a likely chance that Green finally did change his position. Being one of the most effective rookie performance of the year, the young player’s 15 rebounds and 9 blocks included multiple denial shots on two-time MVP Nikola Jokić’s attempts.

Unprecedented Block Stats

Wembanyama’s freaky season’s blocks record of 3.5 blocks per game is an insane figure. It turns out that this would be both this season’s leader and the top scorer from every season within the time frame dating back to 2015-16.

Acknowledging Special Talent

The awesome defence performance of Wembanyama this season has made an impression on the old-timers like Draymond Green and prompted consideration of his contribution to the court. At the same time, though, the testimony that comes from the initial reservations can testify to such a player’s outstanding skill and significance for the whole game.
As Wembanyama keeps dazzling offensively with steals, blocked shots, and interceptions, it is only a matter of time until the NBA DP of the Year fight picks up the pace and helps increase the thrill that surrounds the NBA season.
