Warriors’ Draymond Green named All-Defensive Second Team

Warriors forward Draymond Green has been named to the NBA's All-Defensive Second Team, the league announced Wednesday. Green joins Nate Thurmond (1971-74) as the only players in franchise history to make four straight All-Defensive teams. In Warriors history, only Thurmond (five) has more career All-Defensive Team selections than Green's four. Green had a tough time matching last season's Defensive Player of the Year performance. He joined Giannis Antetokounmpo, Anthony Davis and Andre Drummond as the only players to average at least 1.3 steals and 1.3 blocks per game, but was uncharacteristically inconsistent and lacked the game-saving stops that defined his DPOY campaign.
