The Warriors drafted Draymond Green in the second round of the 2012 NBA draft with pick No. 35. In other words, 34 players heard their names called on draft night before it was finally Green’s turn to take the stage.
Looking back, Green’s career has far outlived expectations, and he hasn’t forgotten the players who were picked ahead of him in 2012. Of those 34 players, however, Green identified the player who he feels it was “most ridiculous” to be drafted after during an appearance on Paul George’s podcast, Podcast P.
“The most ridiculous? Which one? I mean s---…Listen not to throw salt at anybody but Andrew Nicholson was drafted over me at No. 19. Like you don’t even know how to pronounce his school [St. Bonaventure],” said Green.
