Draymond Green Reaches an Incredible Mark

Draymond Green is the faceof the Michigan Spartans basketball team and is the reason why they are a number 1 seed in the tournament. Over this season Green has averaged a double, double with 16.1 points per game and 10.4 rebounds per game. Although Green does a remarkable job in the post his court vision is amazing and they way he is able to make passes to cutters in the lane is mind boggeling. Over this season he is averaging 3.6 assists per game so he is an all around player and his performance against LIU Brooklyn proved that. He single handedly dominated LIU while reaching a historic mark. After the game was over Green's stats totalled up to reach a triple double which is when you have ten or more stats and 3 different categories. The way the Green earned his was by scoring 24 points, snatching down 12 rebounds and getting his teammates the ball where they could score totalling with 10 assists. A triple double by itself is an amzing feat but doing it for the second time in the tournament in your career is an accomplishment only few have reached. Draymond Grren getting his 2 triple double in his tournament career put him on a small list with the likes of Oscar Robertson and former Spartan Magic Johnson. Robertson still holds the record with 4 but Green has tied Magic Johnson on the list. Green is a senior and this will be his last NCAA Tournament so if he wants to tie or beat Robertson's record first Michigan State will need to win more games and Green will have to step his game up.
