Draymond Green hasn’t forgotten where he came from.

Read MoreEach season, there is usually at least one NBA player per team who catches the league and perhaps even their own coaches, teammates and fanbase by surprise. Through hard work and perhaps some luck, they find their way into the rotation and exceed expectations by becoming far more valuable to the team than almost anyone thought they would be.
