So, you're building your team around Draymond if he's top 10 and not a elite role player playing with a superstar? This will only set him up for people to start calling him overrated, overpaid and say he "sucks" because they were expecting him to the best player on the floor for that team every night.
This is why Marc Gasol is starting to become the scapegoat in Memphis. Everyone expects him to be Shaq and dominate a basketball game offensively, when he's not that guy. That doesn't make him an elite player. He just needs to play with a superstar, so the elite skills he does have will overshadow his inability to be a dominant scorer. Pau Gasol years ago was the same. Bosh in Toronto. All of these guys who had elite skillsets that had the unfortunate case of being called "a #1" went through this. Draymond just never had to go through it with Steph and sometimes Klay around.
Imagine if Draymond went to the Celtics this offseason. You think he's putting that team over the top?
