Two days after Golden State Warriors boss Rick Barry called Draymond Green a “liability”, the Dubs forward made a career-high 19 assists in a 130-121 win over the Charlotte Hornets – his franchise best 25th triple doubles.
And on Sunday afternoon, Jalen Rose offered a slightly more constructive view of Green, albeit ultimately a compliment.
“He shook off that three-single stink, you know? Now he’s flirting with a big three-double,” Rose said during the preview segment of ESPN’s “NBA Countdown” ahead of the Warriors’ game against the Los Angeles Lakers. .
Jay Williams doubled the comment and later Green ‘Mr. Called Triple-Single ‘during the prediction segment.
Green averaged 5.7 points, 6.1 rebounds and a career high of 8.7 assists per game and drew the internet’s sadness after scoring three singles singles on 14 occasions this season for points, rebounds and assists, despite the best plus minus any of the Dubs’ entrees (+5.3) when on the track.
Rose also commented on Green’s fitness with a less overt compliment.
“He seems to be in a better condition,” Rose said. “Looks healthy, and I seem to be playing with a lot of confidence.”
While Green is experiencing his worst shooting season since his rookie year (he shoots 38.4% from the field and 22.8% from the 3-point mark), he compensates for this with his ability to make the attack on Warriors historic in a historic way. neurie. His 19 assistants have been the most for a Warriors player since Baron Davis had 19 in 2008, and on Friday he becomes the first Warrior with four 15-assist games in a calendar month since Tim Hardaway in April 1990. In February alone, Green has recorded double-digit assistance evenings on eight separate occasions, with a total of 11, 11, 11, 12, 15, 15, 16 and 19.
