If you go back to his series against the Thunder, he was heartbroken by his performance. So were most Spurs fans. He had a great playoffs this year with the exception of when it mattered most (games six and seven). What would you grade his playoff performance?
B+ , good job DG.
Definitely an A.
I'd give him an A based on his defense against the Splash Brothers and the record he set in the Finals. In games 6 and 7 they decided to focus on him due to his success.
Danny did a great job. The characterizations of him as a playoff choker were thoroughly debunked.
A-. 30 3s in the Finals gets you an A, 33+ gets you an A+.
a better poll wouldve been what do you grade Ginobilis playoffs for 2013.
I'd give him an A even though he fell in an offensive slump in the final two games of the finals. Young player that is still striving to improve his game. If he gets his jump shot and ball handling skills down, I suspect he'll be here a long, long time.
..... Danny Green did everything except dribble drive dunk and draw the foul. im not sure what else you guys werr expecting out of a role player that THOROUGHLY exceeded his expectations.Quote:

A+
Danny doesn't play as well as he did we would have been beat in SA
A
He still has lots of limitations, but he grew 10fold in this playoffs. Let's hope he keeps it up and he can be a solid backup SG behind Marco
If he had a decent game 7, def an a+
But I have to give him an a, I'd be stoked if he can repeat the same performance next year
Yep, even though the year before, he played extremely well for 2 series then was bad vs the thunder, people were still calling him a choker. All those discussions are now all gone after that playoff performanceQuote:

he easily gets an A for his consistent defensive efforts (most notably in the warriors and heat series)
breaking a finals record for 3pters also helps
Dude forced teams mainly the heat to finally pay attention to him.he went from a role player to bonafide starter for the spurs .give him an A
I give Danny a solid B. I would have given him an A if he could drive and finish in the paint more consistently. He did very well in the playoffs and I expect him to be working on the mentioned flaws this off-season.
B. On a curve? A.
The only mistakes he made were leaving Curry open too much in games 1-3 in the GSW series, then he missed 2 (of only 3) wide wide WIIIIIIDE open shots in the 4th Q in game 6 of the finals. He hits either one of those? Championship. So many chances, we had...but I digress.
So yeah, he had an amazing playoffs overall.
exceeding expectations = A+++
Curry was 3-19 with Green guarding him during the first three games of that series.Quote:

But if he can continue to improve in other areas during the off-season (find other ways to score), I think he will be a great contributor to this team in years to come.
Really? Where'd you see that?Quote:

A. Dude set the NBA FINALS RECORD for 3s.
Definitely an A. As heartbreaking as this year was for me as a Spurs fan, Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green made serious leaps forward under major pressure at the most important levels of NBA competition.
It was showed several times during Game 3, and a lot in the days after that.Quote:

Its an A, we are talking about Green, not Jordan.
A+ easily.
I knew he would calm down in games 6 and 7. I had no problem with that. He earned his 'A' in games 1 through 5 alone.
Based on my expectations, gotta give him a 10 (A+).
He didn't just set the finals on fire with his record breaking 3 point shooting. His defense was fucken great. With added confidence he'll be a heck of a two way player this coming season. Leonard + Green = Best young two way SG SF combo in the NBA
A+. Dude was a fucking beast. Would have lost in 4 or five without him.
2 people actually gave him a "C?" SMH
I give him an "A." Like others have stated, he made the Heat adjust to him. Now all he needs to do is work on his ballhandling and his driving to the basket/finishing.
I don't understand why the Spurs didn't take more advantage of the extra spacing his 3pt shooting was creating. If Green's man isn't willing to leave him force his defender into situations where he's forced to help. Again that's why it's important to be able to make adjustments.Quote:

Seems like there is a life lesson in there somewhere.
