Draymond Green Etches His Name in NBA History: 700 Three-Pointers Secure His Spot Among the All-Time Greats

Marking a career milestone, Draymond Green surpassed Jason Richardson for the third-most three-pointers made in Warriors franchise history. The 13-year veteran has surpassed all expectations as the 35th pick in the 2012 NBA Draft, playing his entire career in the Bay Area thus far.

Primarily known for his defensive versatility and playmaking skills, Draymond has carved a niche for himself. A future likely first-ballot Hall of Falmer, the 2017 Defensive Player of the Year does mirror some skills of a three-point shooter. Though not the most reliable long-range shooter, the Warriors forward can surprise at times.

Spending most of his career running the offense alongside the Splash Brothers, Draymond accounted for impressive three-point shooting stretches. Though the Michigan native is a career 32.3% from beyond the arc, he did account for a few impressive seasons, including coming off his most efficient year.

What Does Draymond Green’s 700 Career 3-Pointers Signify?

Breaking Down Draymond Green’s 3-Point Career

Currently standing at 702 made shots from beyond the arc for his career, Draymond is shooting at an impressive 38.5% efficiency this season. The Warriors forward ranks third in most three-pointers made in franchise history. The four-time All-Star might not have the prettiest jump shot. Green can get the job done when the need arises.

Displaying his long-range ability during the 2015-16 NBA season, Draymond shot 38.8% from the three-point line. Showcasing his versatility, the Warriors forward also finished as a top-three candidate for the DPOY the same year.

The following years did see a drop in Draymond’s efficiency from the three-point line. Nonetheless, the veteran forward seems to have resurrected himself over the last two years. Shooting a career-high 39.5% last season, the Warriors veteran has been showing a version of his craftiness from long range.

Currently posting a productivity of 38.5% from the three-point line, Draymond might have slowed down as far as his scoring prowess goes. But, the four-time champion’s high basketball IQ and ruthless defense continue to make him a crucial asset for any team in the league.
