Draymond Green’s awful deep shooting against the Boston Celtics didn’t just start in the NBA Finals. For the entire postseason, he’s shooting a career-low 18% from three. It’s been a downright dreadful display of shot-making, even for someone who has never been a good 3-point shooter.
But unlike Ben Simmons, the Brooklyn Nets’ defensive wunderkind who refuses to shoot threes despite the pleas of everyone, Green is a willing shooter when left open – even if hesitant. And sometimes he hits them, famously knocking down 6-of-8 threes against the Cavs in the 2016 Finals. Two rounds before that, he made eight in a single game.
With eight threes, Draymond Green has tied the franchise record for most three-pointers made in a playoff game.
