Draymond Green has been in the NBA for many years now and has played against and studied countless players throughout the league.
He knows what makes an NBA star worthwhile.
Speaking on his podcast, Green said that Jalen Williams of the Oklahoma City Thunder is a “special” player.
“Dude can shoot, he can pass, he can handle, he can finish, he can defend. He has great size so he can guard multiple positions. He’s athletic, he’s great in the pick-and-roll. Jalen Williams is special,” Green said, via Z on Twitter.

Green suggested that Williams is playing so well, in fact, that he’ll be an All-Star within a few years.
Now in his second year, Williams has indeed gained a lot of attention from people throughout the league.
This season, he is averaging 18.8 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 4.5 assists.
He has earned a spot in the team’s starting five and is one of the many reasons why the Thunder are one of the best teams in the Western Conference.
At six-foot-five, Williams is a mix of a forward and a guard and has the ability to defend but also shoot well.
There are many people who believe that he really could be one of the biggest stars in the league over the next few years.
The Thunder are currently the second-best team in the West and are playing incredibly well.
In fact, some people feel that the Thunder look a lot like the Golden State Warriors from a few years ago.
Meanwhile, the Warriors are the 12th seed in their conference and desperate to put together a string of wins before the trade deadline.
