Will Draymond Green be a 2016 NBA All-Star?

ESPN continued its NBA Summer Forecast by predicting the most likely first-time All-Stars.

ESPN's Forecast has produced the most accurate predictions in the game and over the course of the offseason, they have conducted a Summer Forecast series in which a group of diverse panelists make bold NBA predictions.

One of the topics this summer included 'most likely first-time All-Stars' and the Golden State Warriors' Draymond Green was among those nominated.

Green, who emerged as a full-time starter last season, finished fourth in ESPN's Summer Forecast list.

There is a definitely a surplus of players at Green's position with the likes of LaMarcus Aldridge, Anthony Davis and Blake Griffin pretty much virtual locks to make an All-Star appearance. With so much depth in the Western Conference and the implementation of frontcourt players as a voting category instead of positions, it will be difficult for Green to land a spot on the team. Still, he could conceivably be an injury replacement candidate but don't count on that.

Regardless of what happens, expect Green to wreak havoc around the association with his hard-nosed mentality and versatile game. Marreese Speights knows his teammate better than most people and expects a tough year for NBA players due to Green's trash-talk game
