Warriors head coach Steve Kerr wants Draymond Green to shoot more often
Both Steve Kerr and Draymond Green recently addressed the idea of the former Michigan State forward attempting more 3-pointers this season.
As the Golden State Warriors prepare for the 2026-27 NBA season, head coach Steve Kerr has hinted at a tactical shift in the team's strategy. In a recent podcast, Kerr expressed his desire for power forward Draymond Green to take more three-pointers. While Green's shooting accuracy from beyond the arc is not exceptional, Kerr believes that every possession is valuable when Green shoots the ball.
During an appearance on his own podcast, Green shared his reaction to Kerr's encouragement. He expressed that hearing the head coach confidently support his shooting ability boosted his motivation. Despite his career average of 2.8 three-pointers per game, Green had a notable increase in his three-shot attempts last season, averaging 4.6 attempts per contest, the highest of his career.
His shooting percentage improved as well, converting on 32.1% of his attempts. His career best from beyond the arc was during the 2023-24 season, when he shot 39.5%.
If Green can continue to improve his three-point shooting, it could significantly enhance the Warriors' offensive options.
