Draymond Green Reveals Why Warriors Need Andrew Wiggins and Gary Payton II
The Golden State Warriors need to be fully healthy to win an NBA Championship this season, and Draymond Green knows it. While the Warriors have been able to win games without Andrew Wiggins and Gary Payton II, they haven't been able to play good defense.
Green went on The Draymond Green Show where he discussed the possibility of the Warriors not having Wiggins and Payton, and how much it would impact their championship hopes.
"It'd be tough, [being without] two of your best wing defenders... You're talking two guys, super athletic, two of the more athletic guys on your team, let's not understate that because that's huge, especially when you get in the playoffs," Green said.
Green isn't wrong at all when it comes to his analysis of Wiggins and Payton. Those are two of the three best defenders on the Golden State Warriors and the team's defense has plateaued without them. It's still too early to completely give up on this team, as they're still within striking distance of the 4th seed in the western conference.
However, Golden State's ability to have home court in the playoffs all depends on their ability to win on the road. It all starts with the most important game of the season, a road game against the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday night. The Golden State Warriors and Dallas Mavericks tipoff at 7:30 pm ET.
