Draymond Green knows some NBA teams will think he isn’t tall or quick enough to make it in the league. The former Michigan State star, though, said he wouldn’t come up short if his intangibles could be measured. “No one has more heart or a better work ethic than me,” Green said in a recent interview, gazing across a practice court toward two of the Final Four banners he helped the Spartans earn.

The 6-foot-7, 235-pound Green already has a workout scheduled with Boston, one of about a dozen teams that have expressed an interest in the versatile player. “I hear I could go anywhere from 20 to 30,” he said. “But you never know, so I’m going to control what I can control and that’s to be ready for any and every opportunity I get to show what I can do.” Detroit Free Press

Utah Jazz, Draft, Draymond Green 

Draymond Green expects to be selected between the 20th and 30th pick in the NBA draft. Utah Jazz executive Walt Perrin says the ex-Michigan State star has realistic expectations. Green was the lone senior on The Associated Press' All-America team last season. He might be overlooked by teams earlier in the first round because some scouts don't think he's tall enough to play power forward or quick enough to be a small forward. The 6-foot-7 Green says he wouldn't come up short if teams could measure his heart and work ethic. SI.com

In NBA circles, Michigan State senior Draymond Green is currently being discussed as a late first- to mid-second-round draft pick this June. That’s according to one NBA scout who places the 6-foot-7, 230-pound power forward in the 25-45 range of the draft. Spartans coach Tom Izzo said Monday he thinks about Green’s possible future in the NBA as well. "I think Draymond has a good chance because there’s a need for people with high basketball IQ," Izzo said. "His shooting will get nothing but better. His ball skills will get nothing but better. He’ll have to prove his defense consistently. "I’m trying to think of one area where he hasn’t made great improvement, which leads me to believe that if he gets a break and gets a chance, he’s going to improve more and more." Booth Newspapers
