"He's playing so well. He makes our defense so much better. With this new lineup, it feels like we’re faster, more athletic, more capable of staying in front of people. And he's the middle linebacker. He calls out all the coverages, sees the floor," Kerr noted Green's impact on both sides.

The American coach then talked about Green's rehabilitation process and his return.

"He's been very focused. He's been humbled by what happened, the absence," Kerr explained. "I think it gave him some time to think about how much he loves to play, loves to be a part of the team and he didn't want to see that slip away," the coach stated, reflecting on the GSW's recent decline.

This year, Draymond Green is averaging 9.3 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 6.1 assists per game on a season with many missed games.
