Wasn't Green suspended for a finals game that Cleveland won en route to winning in 7 games?

He was also on a team that struggled to win a series against a team that had Matthew Dellavedova as their 2nd best player.

Tristan Thompson was probably the second best player; Dellavedova had one good game. LeBron also had probably the best Finals series of all-time.

Plus Green had a triple-double in Game 6 of the '15 Finals to win the title for GS.

I just listed 21 guys ONLY on playoffs teams in the West that are better. No one can make a legitimate argument that he's better than 7 of those 21 player. We haven't even touched the rest of the West or the East. The idea that Green is a top 15 player is foolish.

Top 50 role players occasionally have great games. He had a great game. Clap for him. Going forward would you rather have Markkanen or Green?

Green, of course. And I’m really high on Markkanen. But that’s an easy one.

Better players on Western Conference playoff teams

1. Chris Paul - Green
2. James Harden
3. Steph Curry

5. Klay Thompson Green

7. CJ McCollum Green
8. Jusuf Nurkic
9. Anthony Davis
10. DeMarcus Cousins
11. Jrue Holiday Green
12. Jimmy Butler
13. Karl-Anthony Towns

16. Marshmelo Anthony Green
17. LaMarcus Aldridge
18. Kawhi Leonard
19. DeAndre Jordan Green
20. Lou Williams Green
21. Nikola Jokic Green

We're at 21 players without including the East or the rest of the West. Top 50 may have been a little generous. Clearly not a top 15 player.

The answer appears to be yes.

James Worthy was the 3rd best player on his team too and not only played better (36 points, 16 boards and 10 assists) but helped his team win. He didn't lose to an inferior opponent.

Somewhere in the thirties seems fair.

That he can be a head case with horrid timing can't allow him higher

That stat line may be difficult to find but his averages for the series won't be. You are cherry picking one game. I'm sure Vegan will chime in to inform us on what the term "small sample size" entails.

That he's only the fourth best player on that team starts him at a disadvantage in justifying your valuation.

Not really. It’s an all time great team for a reason. And there’s obviously a Draymond/Klay debate to be bad.

Bill Cartwright was a leader on those Bulls teams. Didn't necessitate that he be a top 15 however.

Ricky Davis would average 7 assists for the Warriors.

You listed Dwight Howard, and Aaron Gordon twice! You also listed guys like Horford and Blake. I had to double check that wasn’t the long time gay account before responding.

Congrats, you’re officially beyond parody!
