If you think back to the first two games of the Golden State Warriors' season, you'll recall the vague remnants of what looked like one of the worst teams in the NBA. Without Green on the floor, the Warriors regressed back into a shell of their recent offensive evolution, scoring just 28 points through the first 19 minutes of the second half. Still, the tale of the Warriors pre- and post-Draymond ejection is telling as to Green's value, which is most easily understood in his absence. Entering Thursday, Golden State was sporting a 103.6 defensive rating with Green on the court, which would register as the best defense in the league by an appreciable margin, compared to a 113.8 rating when he was off the court, which would rank as the seventh-worst defense in the league.
