Ask him to take a last second shot, 1 on 1 iso for you, to win the game. Ask him to get the ball in the post and draw double teams ala guys like Shaq, Dwight, Aldridge or Amare Stoudemire in their primes. No one will double team draymond green in the post because he won't go through you, he won't blow by you, he won't get you up in the air with a pump fake, he can't shoot over the top. He'll take a high percentage shot...that's about it. Any guy that doesn't require a double team or all eyes to be on him at some point in the game is not a top 5 player to build around plain and simple.
