No one's saying he's not a great player, but his stats would look quite a lot worse if he didn't have the supporting cast he does. LeBron has been putting up the numbers he has his entire career regardless of who's around him. Draymond makes any team in the NBA better but he simply could not be a #1 option and he's carried by the fact that he's got Curry and Klay.
Another way to look at it: put LeBron on the Lakers and that team is on the fringe of being a title contender. Put Draymond on the Lakers and they're still one of the worst teams in the NBA.
