Draymond Green on awards eligibility: 'If Luka Doncic gets an exception, Cade Cunningham has to get an exception'

Draymond Green: “I know there’s this whole controversy over whether Luka will be eligible or not. They’re going to apply for an exception. I’m going to go out on a limb and say I don’t think they’re going to change the rule, but apparently there’s some speculation that Luka may get an exception. If Luka gets an exception, though, Cade Cunningham has to get an exception. My whole list could be different if Cade also gets an exception, because why would there be exceptions made for someone else when Cade Cunningham was extraordinary as well? No one expects him to have a collapsed lung and need three more games, and then not be able to play. The rule was never put in place to punish someone like Cade and what he just went through. But those are the unintended consequences of the rule. That’s where this gets tricky, because now the process starts feeling selective instead of principled.”
