The Golden State Warriors are known for shooting. From the Splash Brothers to Kevin Durant, and now just Stephen Curry, they will always be known for the three-ball. One Warriors star who never really joined the three-point party is Draymond Green. During the regular season, Draymond has been a serviceable three-point shooter at times. In the playoffs, however, his percentages get even worse.
One crazy Draymond Green stat was just found by @NBA_University on Twitter.
Since 1997, Draymond Green is second to last in corner three-point shot percentage during the playoffs.
Draymond is only shooting 27.1% on what many find to be the easiest three-pointer on the court. Although this isn’t Draymond’s specialty, the fact that he hasn’t been able to put a corner three into his repertoire severely hurts the Warriors' offense.
Especially in the playoffs, when the court gets tighter, having Green in the corner with a decent chance at making the shot could provide a ton more spacing for Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler to operate.
So, while nobody is shocked that Draymond is on the bottom of a three-point shooting list, the fact that he is THIS bad is somewhat concerning.
With Draymond, it’s always about taking the bad with the good. Both on and off the court. Still, as the NBA becomes more and more about spacing and shooting, you have to wonder, should the Warriors consider moving on from Green?

A Draymond Green trade seems crazy to think about. However, the Warriors could look at key statistics like this and decide that he is more expendable. Until then, Draymond, please work on that corner three.
