Draymond Green is undoubtedly one of the greatest players in the Golden State Warriors' storied history. With four championships, a Defensive Player of the Year, 9 All-Defensive Team honors, and 4 All-Star selections, his career has been magnificent, especially considering he entered the league as a second-round pick.

However, he's now about to turn 36 years old in a week and a half, and unfortunately, Father Time catches up to (almost) everybody. Green's production has started to waver in a concerning manner, particularly on the offensive end, and as the Warriors try to make their push for the playoffs, they'll need him to adjust accordingly in order to provide the best version of himself possible.

The day after the Warriors' 121-110 loss to the Celtics on Thursday night that saw Green go 0-7 from the field, 0-5 from three-point range, and finish as a game-low -28, Steve Kerr discussed Green's struggles and how he's handling it.

"It was a rough game for him. He kept his spirits up, he was talking to guys on the bench, giving advice. I've talked about this occasionally this year, but how you approach the latter stages of your career as a player is so important. With Draymond's approach and attitude during this time, especially without Steph, where a lot of our weaknesses are exposed, he's handling things with a lot of dignity. It's not easy, especially when you have that kind of pride from being a great player. When you have a night like that, it's tough. It's so important that he keeps his spirits up like he did last night, but that we help him and we help the team, as a staff, develop a better rhythm."

Green has been hailed as a fantastic veteran by many coaches and players, so it's no surprise to see him still engaged even when in an individual slump. However, it's also clear that Green needs to either find a way to get back into form offensively or adjust his play style to maximize his strengths and minimize his rising weaknesses.

Green has never been an offensive centerpiece, primarily providing elite playmaking with his seemingly innate connection with Steph Curry, while also offering three-point shooting at a streaky rate. However, even the latter might not be ringing true this year.

Green's shooting 32% from three on a career-high 4.7 attempts — well below the league average of 36% from deep. It's nowhere near the worst percentage he's had in a season in his career, but the increasingly high number of attempts doesn't match up with the percentage, especially since his last two seasons were better at 39.5% and 32.5%. 

In particular, 2026 hasn't been kind to Green's offense. In 19 games between the two months, Green's three-point percentage is down 29.6%, yet he's still putting up 5.2 attempts per game. His field goal percentage is just under 39%, and he clocks in as a -65 across all of those games.

His turnover issue hasn't been as glaring, especially compared to the start of the season, but it's still something that hurts the Warriors every now and then, too.

Ultimately, evaluating Green's play without Steph can be somewhat of a waste at times, as Curry greatly elevates his value. However, shooting can still be isolated, especially when Green is often left open regardless. If he can't provide a semi-consistent three-point threat, both Green and the Warriors will need to figure out how to play him within their offense to minimize that weakness and maximize the rest of his toolkit.
