Draymond Green Gets Honest About Chris Paul

Draymond believes Chris Paul will help the Golden State Warriors

When the Golden State Warriors acquired Chris Paul, many quickly resurfaced some of Draymond Green's old comments about not liking him. Both fierce competitors, Green and Paul have gone at it on the court for years, and will now be teammates. Despite their previous battles, the two have both publicly expressed an excitement to play together.

On a recent episode of Podcast P, which is presented by Wave Sports and Entertainment, Green joined LA Clippers star Paul George to discuss several topics, including Chris Paul's fit in Golden State.

"Our team last year didn’t have a variety of ways to score, and I think CP adds another thing to the menu to address the topic of a variety of ways to score," Green said. "CP plays totally different than Steph, totally different than Klay, totally different than myself and Jordan Poole… I also think last year, Steph and I got split up a lot and me and Steph together we’re dangerous. Our minutes got split up a bunch because our second unit couldn’t figure it out and in turn I got put into the second unit to help stabilize things. That’s like 15 less minutes a game we’re together. Well now, CP can anchor that unit."

Green also believes that Paul can help unlock Jonathan Kuminga, and said the following on that topic:

"I think Chris Paul will completely unlock Jonathan Kuminga and his growth. CP is great with young guys. Deandre Ayton looked like a bust before Chris came to Phoenix. No disrespect but more of a compliment to CP, but people didn’t know what Deandre Ayton was gonna turn out to be and suddenly he became an All-Star level player. So I think what he will do for Jonathan Kuminga and unlocking him is huge. Absolutely huge. And I look forward to learning that from him.”"

For the reasons Green mentioned, Chris Paul should be a good fit with the Warriors.
