Well I just said 5 to be excessively conservative, just like when I said Green was one of the top 30 players over the summer when he was closer to top 15 in my view. You could certainly say he's the only one who could play that role because LeBron wouldn't care as much about the regular season, but you could probably figure out a slightly different way to play and be similarly effective with players like Durant or Kawhi in Green's place.
For All-NBA purposes, he would be first team if you called him a center, but as a forward (no difference between 3 and 4) he'd have to be ahead of one of LeBron, George, Leonard, and Durant to make the 2nd team.

Phrased differently, the Warriors are so much better than everyone else that all teams are more or less equally (un)likely to beat Golden State on a given night.
