Steve Kerr on Draymond Green: ‘We need him to make some shots’

The Warriors are at their best when forward Draymond Green is knocking down open three-pointers. With Green feasting from deep, opposing defenses must answer a tricky question: Do they give him more attention at the risk of leaving Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry or Klay Thompson open?

This is a query teams haven’t faced much this season as Green labors through one of the worst shooting slumps of his career. In 18 games, he is just 40.9 percent from the field, including 18.9 percent from three-point range. Since the start of November, Green is 1-for-16 from deep in nine outings.

A toe injury that sidelined him for 14 games has made it tough for Green to settle into a rhythm.
