Most draft picks selected in the second round of the NBA Draft struggle to establish themselves in the league. However, some teams are able to find a diamond in the rough and find valuable assets in the second round. The Warriors drafted Draymond Green with the fifth pick in the second round and it has paid off dividends.

Green is also looking to get paid, he will be a restricted free agent this summer. After signing his rookie contract for about $2.6 million, Green is looking to land a big contract. With aspirations of a big pay day, Green has changed agents according to Sam Amick of USA Today Sports:

After giving Klay Thompson $70 million the Warriors will have a tough decision to make with Green. He will have plenty of suitors interested in his services and the Warriors will have a chance to match, but will they be willing to spend? No details were given about Green’s decision, but the change comes at an interesting time.
The Wasserman Media Group has an impressive list of NBA clients which includes: Russell Westbrook, Derrick Rose, Anthony Davis, and Kenneth Faried. Green joins a great list of players and this move should help him land the contract he desires.
