Draymond Green believes Luka Doncic is the "best player on the floor" whenever he takes the court. As a result, he feels the Dallas Mavericks are a bigger threat to the Golden State Warriors than even the Memphis Grizzlies next season.
Doncic has grown into his role as the Mavericks' offensive spark ever since being drafted into the league.
Green, on his part, believes the Slovenian is all Dallas needs to be considered a threat.

Luka Doncic poised for big 2022-23 season
Luka Doncic has so far proven his ability to lead the Dallas Mavericks. Unfortunately, he has been unable to guide them to the NBA Finals. He will hope to change that next season.
Despite his brilliant performances, Doncic has copped some criticism for his lackadaisical approach to the game and apparent disregard for physical fitness. However, he appears to have changed his mindset, with pictures popping up online showcasing his physical transformation.
The 23-year-old is already a three-time All-Star and will be a shoo-in for a spot in the Hall of Fame if he continues to make progress. With a ft and firing Doncic leading the way, Dallas will fancy their chances of making a deep run next season. If they get the right pieces in places to help Doncic, they could be the biggest threat in the West, as Draymond Green predicted.
