Draymond Green is a well-known name to any NBA fan. In fact, he has been a key player for the Golden State Warriors. However, recently in the NBA Finals against the Celtics, Green has been struggling, and this has become a talking point.
In four games in the Finals, he has scored 17 points but has committed 18 fouls so far. Therefore, his foul count surpasses his point tally. Moreover, he has missed all nine 3-pointer attempts in the series. However, despite his struggles, he has been a key player for the Warriors. With him on the field, the Warriors have only been outscored by 2.4 points per 100 possessions. Moreover, the scorers have been more efficient with him.
However, there should not be any doubt regarding his Hall of Fame finish. Even if he keeps struggling for the entire series and if the Warriors lose to the Celtics, then also he will be a Hall of Famer. Read the article for more details on the matter.

What Makes Green A Hall of Fame Candidate?

The question seems logical enough if one sees Green’s box score stats. He has a stat of 11.8 points, 9.0 rebounds, 6.1 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.4 blocks per game. This is not at all extraordinary. However, beyond this, he has achieved so much that he can easily make it to the Hall of Fame.
He already possesses three rings, along with two Olympic gold medals. In fact, his ring count might rise soon enough. Apart from that Green has four-time All-Star selections and seven All-Defensive team selections. In addition, a two-time All-NBA selection and was the 2016-17 Defensive Player of the Year. In terms of postseason assists, steals and blocks, Green has made it to the list of the top-25 all-timers.
Moreover, Green is ranked 15th all-time in regular-season triple-doubles and fifth in postseason triple-doubles. In fact, the Basketball-Reference’s Hall of Fame probability model states that Green has a 59.7 per cent chance of making the Hall of Fame. Chauncey Billups, Shawn Marion, Amare Stoudemire and Larry Foust are the only three players who failed to make it to the Hall of Fame with a higher probability score. Therefore, Green stands a fair chance of making it there.
Concluding Lines
According to Basketball-Reference’s model, there are many players who have made it to the Hall of Fame with a weaker stat than Green. The list includes players like Chris Mullin, Reggie Miller, Wes Unseld, Ben Wallace, K.C. Jones and others.
However, there are no fixed benchmarks for Hall of Fame selection. The jury considers a player’s individual and career stats. A player’s cultural importance is also considered. Green had been part of great teams of the past era. Therefore his case is strong as of now.
