Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said Monday he agrees with Draymond Green's decision to play for Team USA in the Tokyo Olympics this summer.
Kerr explained to NBC Sports Bay Area's Raj Mathai he believes Green was as good as ever during the second half of the 2020-21 NBA season, so it makes sense to build off that success in the Games.
"So for Draymond, keeping that rhythm, keeping that momentum going is more important for him than the rest is," he said. "So I think this will be great for Draymond's own personal welfare, but also for the team because, to me, Draymond is the best defensive center in the world even though he's not really our center.
