Overview
- Bleacher Report’s Greg Swartz ranked Draymond Green No. 1 and Kristaps Porziņģis No. 4 on his list of the league’s most overrated players, making the Warriors the only team with two selections.
- Swartz pointed to Green’s diminished defensive influence and a career-low 0.8 steals per game, alongside 8.6 points, 5.7 rebounds and 5.2 assists on 41.7 percent shooting this season.
- Porziņģis has appeared in just 17 games and is out with left Achilles tendinitis, with his availability further clouded by a history that includes a P.O.T.S. diagnosis.
- The scrutiny follows Golden State’s failed push for Giannis Antetokounmpo and its subsequent trade for Porziņģis in a deal that sent Jonathan Kuminga out.
- Green stayed with the Warriors past the deadline and holds a $27.7 million player option for 2026-27, which Swartz advised him to exercise.
