As Hoops Hype continues to roll out their top-26 rankings for the 2025-26 season, another member of the Golden State Warriors<\/a> earned a spot on the power forward set of rankings. After Steph Curry, Jimmy Butler and Jonathan Kuminga, the next member of the Warriors to appear on Hoops Hype’s top-26 power forwards for the 2025-26 season is Draymond Green. The veteran defensive captain landed at No. 19 in the top 26.<\/p>\n

Green snuck into the top-20 in front of Dallas Mavericks<\/a> forward PJ Washington and LA Lakers forward Rui Hachimura. LA Clippers<\/a> John Collins (18) and Houston’s Jabari Smith (17) were listed in front of Green on Hoops Hype’s rankings.<\/p>\n

Green is coming off another impressive season as the centerpiece of Golden State’s defensive unit. The 35-year-old big man finished third in the Defensive Player of the Year vote while also earning another first-team All-Defense honor. In 13 seasons, Green has now been named to the All-Defensive team nine times, with five coming on the first team.<\/p>\n

Offensively, Green shot the ball from beyond the arc at a more prolific rate, shooting 3.6 3-pointers per game, his highest mark since 2017-18. Shooting from downtown at 32.5%, Green knocked down 80 3-pointers during the 2024-25 season, his highest number of makes since the 2016-17 season. Green had 23 games with at least two made triples, including two contests with five made 3-pointers.<\/p>\n

Green finished the season averaging nine points on 42.4% shooting from the field to go along with 6.1 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1.5 steals and one block in 29.2 minutes per game.<\/p>\n

Alongside both Curry and Butler, Green will again be a pillar in Steve Kerr’s rotation. For the Warriors to make another run through the postseason in the Western Conference, the veteran power forward will likely have to be heavily involved.<\/p>\n
