Steve Kerr Credits Draymond Green For Helping 2 Players On The Floor

The Golden State Warriors are still in bad shape with a 20-24 record and the 12th seed in the Western Conference.

However, some good things are happening on the team, such as blossoming chemistry and more output from players like Jonathan Kuminga and Andrew Wiggins.

Talking with 95.7 The Game, head coach Steve Kerr credited Draymond Green for the development of Kuminga and Wiggins.

“That’s the main reason that things are clicking with those two guys on the floor. Draymond ties the game together at both ends… he gets those guys organized and he really motivates those guys. He gives them a lot of confidence,” Kerr said.

So far this year, Kuminga is posting 14.8 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 4.5 rebounds, while Wiggins is putting up 12.5 points and 4.2 rebounds.

Kuminga is having his best season yet and is reportedly beloved by the team’s front office.

As for Wiggins, the opposite is true: this is his worst season and there are many rumors of him being traded soon.

That being said, Wiggins has definitely looked a bit better since Green’s return from suspension.

He has now scored in double digits for five games in a row and seems to have a better rhythm on the court.

Many things can be said about Green and his attitude and personality but the man has long been someone who cares deeply about team chemistry and motivating the men he plays with.

This is especially true as Green grows older and thinks more and more about the future of this team and what it’ll look like when he has retired.

There is a good chance that Kuminga and Wiggins won’t be playing together much longer but there is no doubt that both have been positively influenced by Green.
