Draymond Green's Golden State Warriors have the best record in the NBA at the moment. The Warriors are 10-1, thanks in large part to the defense of Green, who is currently third in player defensive rating this season at 97.5.
As a team, the Warriors are the number one defensive team in the NBA at the moment. No one predicted before the season that Golden State Warriors would be this good. They may have had an easier schedule to start the season, but they are also doing so without Klay Thompson and James Wiseman.

What is Draymond Green's status for tonight's game against the Chicago Bulls?
The Golden State Warriors have listed Draymond Green as questionable for their game against the Chicago Bulls. Green suffered a contusion to his right thigh after a collision with Jaden McDaniels of the Minnesota Timberwolves. Warriors head coach Steve Kerr is not worried, and is thankful that it was not a knee injury.
"He got a quad contusion. It was pretty nasty. He’s got some ice on it now, and just for now, call him questionable for Friday. When (Green) came off the floor, he said it was a bad muscle bruise. He just got kneed in the thigh. But it was close to the knee. I have no reason to believe that it has anything to do with a joint," Kerr said.
