Mark Jackson played Draymond Green as the backup small forward at the start of his career in the NBA. Green had played a versatile 3/4 role at Michigan State.

"Yeah, the 3 almost had me out of the league. Especially in our offense then, the 3 was just spotting up. When you get it, shoot. And I’m not a spot-up shooter. And then I was dealing will all type of knee tendinitis. So my shot was brutal. But I could defend. And that’s what kind of got me on the floor and that’s what kept me around.

"But the 3 spot almost had me out of the league. The next year I played more 4, which I felt like obviously was my natural position. It was a lot better for me."

Green eventually became a 4/5 under Steve Kerr, which launched the Warriors' death lineup.
