Good article in the Detroit Free Press on Michigan St. forward Draymond Green. Green is one of head coach Tom Izzo's favorite players because of his willingness to take constructive criticism and be a coach on the floor to his teammates. Green, who is only a sophomore, was given the position of captain by Izzo because of his leadership qualities. Here is a little from the article:Izzo loves this because he wants players coaching themselves as much as coaches coaching them. Following the Spartans' quarterfinal loss in the Big Ten tournament last week, Izzo sat back in his seat at the postgame postmortem unabashedly beaming at Green's uncompromising assessment of the Spartans' difficulties.
"I've said this a lot, but it's still true," Izzo said. "It's about ownership -- players taking charge and assuming responsibility for their own destiny. Any coach wants players who obsess about winning more than anything else, and Draymond is one of those guys."
