#2 Draymond Green
The 2016-17 Kia Defensive Player of the Year continued in the same vein the following season as he has through the entirety of his career - quarterbacking the league's best playoff defense and setting up some of the greatest shooters in the history of the game with dimes left, right and center.
Short of scoring buckets on his own game after game, there is not a single basketball skill that Draymond is not elite at. He has among the highest basketball IQs in the league, and he leverages that to full effect on both ends of the floor.

Simply put, Draymond is one of the best perimeter defenders in the league, and at 6'7" and 230 pounds, also one of its most dominant interior defenders. Think about that for a second.
The Warriors may score tons of points every single game because of their offense, but it's Draymond who unlocks the heart and soul of the team on a nightly basis on the defensive end.
