He’s moving better, heavily contesting 3’s at the fourth-highest rate in the NBA. The Warriors have also allowed 0.9 points per direct drive when Green is the help defender this season; that ranks fifth among 40 players to help on 250-plus drives, per Second Spectrum tracking. And he is making 1.4 3-pointers per game this season, the most he has averaged in a season in a decade — he is one of five players with at least 35 steals, 35 blocks and 35 3-pointers this season, according to ESPN Research. He says he has rediscovered his motivation and no longer contemplates retirement with an assist from therapy and the “DG check-in calls.” “I want people to say, ‘Man, right here was a little bleak. But then look where it went from there.’ And that’s due to because he took accountability,” Green said.
