With the new season up and running, Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green has reflected on his nightmarish 2023-2024 campaign. Speaking to ‘957thegame’ show, he admitted that he didn’t play or act well.

That season was a tough one for Draymond Green as he got involved with a lot of disciplinary issues. Most notably, the physical altercation with former teammate Jordan Poole.

(Last season) I didn’t play well, didn’t act well, and I want to show the real me, I want to show the real growth.

Draymond Green said

Now appearing to have turned a new leaf, Green is confident that he can lead the Warriors to a better place this season, and his defense has been a key factor in the team’s 4-1 start. And his role has taken on even more importance with the departure of Klay Thompson to the Dallas Mavericks.

Fans of the Dubs will be pleased to know that he has risen to the challenge, as he is currently averaging 6.0 points, 4.4 assists, and 4.0 rebounds per game. Interestingly, the team’s defense is currently ranked second in the league, and Green’s play has been instrumental in their success.

With the new season currently underway, the Golden State Warriors have faced a tough test in back-to-back games against the New Orleans Pelicans, but true to his commitment, Draymond Green rose to the challenge. Despite playing without Stephen Curry due to an ankle injury.

In the absence of their Baby Faced Assassin, the Warriors secured two wins and improved their record to 4-1. Speaking about the contest, he admitted that it was not the easiest of assignments for him having to stop their talisman, Zion Williamson.

It hurts. He’s gotten so much better over the last, what, first four years of his career.

It was a great outing for the veteran as he also stuffed the stat sheet with 14 points, six assists, five blocks, and one steal in the 104-89 win, and even earned praise from his head coach. The Warriors’ next game is on Saturday against the Houston Rockets when Green will likely face a new challenge in Jabari Smith Jr. and Alperen Sengun.
