Yes, his 3 point % has been better but the things he is known for such as rebounding, steals, and defense are clearly not as good. Blocks are down by 50%, rebounds down 1.4 per game, steals are down from 1.3 per game for his career to 0.4, and he has one of the worst defensive ratings in the league. Now, stats can often be misleading but I am going by my eye test which many of these stats support.

Indefinite suspension. Didnt see that coming.
Good. I am so sick of his act. I would NEVER trade Steph but anyone else is fair game as far as I'm concerned with Draymond at the head of the list.
At this point, I wish the NBA would allow us to void his contract. I love Dray for everything he has done for this franchise, but his time is up. He's a negative far more than a positive these days.
I actually think he has played well when he has played. But that's the issue. He's started and finished, what, 11 out of 23 games?
Ehh I don't agree. His defense isn't what it was but is still plus. He's shooting well this year. He isn't turning the ball over at a much higher rate than normal. His offense is just magnified because we aren't getting much from Klay and Wigs.
Klay, Wiggins, and Dray have all played terrible in my opinion which is why the Warriors have sucked this year. At the end of the day, Draymond is just not worth having on the roster anymore. The problem is, I doubt any team wants him badly enough to take on his contract and deal for him.
