Draymond Green's defensive IQ isn't about processing all five guys on the floor at once, it's about knowing which ones actually matter.
Ball and man are obvious. But watch him chasing a cutter, switching a Curry pin down, and still closing on a blow by to block a shot at the rim. That's not superhuman awareness, that's priority.
If LeBron has the ball, Draymond knows that supersedes whatever assignment he's technically guarding in that moment. Most players lose the primary threat because they're locked into their own matchup. Draymond never lets the best player on the floor get an easy one.
That's the apex of defensive IQ right there. #shorts
