Draymond Green, as much as anyone, knows how difficult it is to become an NBA All-Star.
Draymond Green said on a podcast appearance that people are setting up Victor Wembanyama “for failure.”, was long pegged as the No. 1 overall pick leading up to last month’s draft after averaging 21.6 points, 10.4 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game with the Metropolitans 92 this year. “I’m sorry, but you’re not just dribbling through me like the Harlem Globetrotters,” Green said when Paul asked how he would guard Wembanyama. “… But you gotta press up into him. You can’t let him get comfortable. If you let him get comfortable you lose, because you’re not blocking his shot. He may not even see your contest, like he’s 7-5 and he shoot the ball up here.
But even with Wembanyama likely to frustrate defenses, Green analyzed that the rookie’s defensive contributions — preventing his opponents from reaching the basket instead of trying to create his own offense — have the potential to become “as elite as we have in the NBA.”NBAE via Getty Images
