Bogut: Green is probably 'the best all-around player in the league'

The Golden State Warriors continue to churn out convincing victories without the services of reigning NBA Most Valuable Player Stephen Curry in the lineup, thanks in large part to the stellar play of Draymond Green.

The 26-year-old is averaging a near triple-double over the last three games which Curry hasn't played, with 18.7 points on 51.4 percent shooting, along with 10 rebounds and 8.3 assists. He's also chipping in 1.7 rejections and a steal for good measure.

Following the Warriors' 118-106 win over the Portland Trail Blazers in Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals on Sunday, teammate Andrew Bogut put Green on quite the pedestal after he notched the first triple-double of the postseason.

"He's probably the best all-around player in the league at this point," Bogut said of Green.

Humble in response, Green was willing to accept the 7-foot Aussie's praise, although he admitted he would never refer to himself in that way.

"I'm comfortable with it," Green added. "I've never really been one that's not too comfortable with much. I think there's a lot of great all-around players in the game. You'll never hear me call myself that, but if they're going to call me that, I'll take it. I'm not going to shy away from it."

Golden State is an astounding 19.2 points better per 100 possessions on offense when Green is on the floor in the playoffs, while allowing 17.9 more points on defense when he sits.
