Green is coming off a year where he averaged 8.5 points, 7.2 rebounds, 6.8 assists and 1.0 steals per contest while shooting 52.7% from the field and 30.5% from the three-point range.

The former Michigan State star doesn't put up big numbers, but he is one of the most important players on the team (and their best defender). 

He has spent his entire career with Golden State and helped them win four NBA Championships over the previous nine seasons. 

Last year, the Warriors lost to the Los Angeles Lakers in the second round of the NBA playoffs (in six games).
