Iguodala: Draymond's great at basketball, terrible at all other sports

Draymond Green may be a disaster on the green.

The Golden State Warriors forward is one of the best defenders in the NBA and one of the most important pieces on the league's top club. However, the 27-year-old All-Star's athletic ability and dominance do not translate to any other sports, according to teammate Andre Iguodala, who called Green the worst golfer on the Dubs.

"The crazy thing about Draymond is that he's one of the smartest basketball players I've ever been around in my life," the veteran swingman said while contributing to TNT's coverage of the PGA Championship.

"He's up there with the smartest basketball players and the game comes so easy to him so you would think he's athletic. But like if you watch him throw a football it's like, he played tight end but he can't throw a football. And he can't hit a baseball, he whacks at a baseball like ... any other sport, it just doesn't transfer for him."

Iguodala did give Green credit, though, for throwing off others with his signature feistiness and trash talk.

"Draymond does a great job of knocking you off your game so he won't play well with him," Iggy added.
