Draymond Green has accepted a diminished offensive role under Warriors coach Steve Kerr as the team works to cut down on turnovers. Green's assist-to-turnover ratio dropped to 2.1:1 last season, his lowest mark since 2013/14.
Kerr has emphasized that the team's "margin for error isn't what it used to be." Green has responded by focusing on finding cutters from the wing and making reads in the short roll. The forward has been "all in" with the new responsibilities, according to Kerr.
Green's preseason numbers reflect the adjustment, averaging 6.3 assists and 1.5 turnovers per game. He dished out 10 assists in 24 minutes during Friday night's contest. Kerr said he is "very comfortable" opening the season with Green at center.
Green said trust ultimately serves as the foundation for the changes.
