“I think this year was really frustrating for him offensively,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said of Green on KNBR’s “Tolbert, Kreuger and Brooks” Podcast, “and then as a competitor, it was frustrating for him just losing night after night. It’s just too difficult in this league to try to win games when you’re that shorthanded. I think he dealt with the frustration. He definitely boiled over several times, got kicked out. But, overall, I just thought he handled himself well.”
“He made it through, and he is getting a much-needed rest,” Kerr continued. “And I think we’re going to see the very best version of Draymond next year, whenever next season starts. I feel really good about where he’s going to be mentally and physically”
This year Green averaged 8 points, 6.2 rebounds, 6.2 assist and 1.3 steals over 43 games, shooting 39% from the field, 28% from long range and 76% from the foul line
