Draymond Green has positioned himself as a frontrunner for the NBA Defensive Player of the Year award after an outstanding performance against the Milwaukee Bucks, particularly in his defense of Giannis Antetokounmpo. He boldly claimed, '1 million percent, I have a case,' reinforcing his candidacy as the season nears its end.

With Victor Wembanyama sidelined due to injury, the competition has opened up, and Green faces stiff challenges from Evan Mobley, Jaren Jackson Jr., and others. His defensive box plus-minus rating of 2.9, while impressive, isn’t the strongest in the league. However, Green's experience in media and the Warriors' prominent national television schedule could enhance his campaign, showcasing his skills to a wider audience.
