Draymond Green admits that Steve Kerr has given him a new role ahead of the 2026-27 season

Draymond Green has revealed that Warriors head coach Steve Kerr has given him a new role for the upcoming 2026-27 season. Green, who has enjoyed success as a playmaker for the Golden State Warriors, including four championships, will be shifting his focus to become a more assertive scorer rather than constantly looking for teammate Stephen Curry.

Kerr has expressed his desire for Green to take more shots from beyond the arc, a decision Green acknowledges may be unexpected but one he is welcoming. The shift in role comes after Kerr has previously allowed Green to make bold decisions, resulting in an average of 2.3 turnovers per game throughout Green's career. Green believes this change could help him and the team move forward.
