NBA 2019-20 rumours: Portland Trail Blazers want Draymond Green to play for them

There is a slim chance that Green will play for the Trail Blazers during NBA 2019-20 season, though he would definitely be a good addition to the team. Green is a great rebounder, defender, floor-spacer and facilitator. Green has an average of 9.4 points, 7.8 rebounds, 5.2 assists, and 1.4 steals for the five NBA 2019-20 games he has played. He also has 42.9 % shooting from the field, and 30.8% from beyond the arc. If Green were to be a part of the Trail Blazers, the team would have better chances of beating teams such as the Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Lakers. Green is currently benched due to his finger injury. The date of his return has not yet been confirmed.
