How Kerr’s Warriors film session helped Draymond limit turnovers originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
Draymond Green credits a recent film session with Steve Kerr for helping him curb his turnover.
Speaking to the media on Wednesday after the Warriors’ 120-97 win over the Atlanta Hawks, Green explained how Kerr has harassed him into cutting down on his turnovers.
“Steve has been bugging Steph and me about turnovers,” Green said. “He had a whole film session with me today. And it was great for me to see, because one area where I’ve had trouble is the high-risk full-court stuff. And Steph and I have talked about that a lot. So he shows me the half track things when I’m accelerated. I felt one that sped me up today and I almost turned it over, but I didn’t.
“But then I felt four or five, when he showed me the clips and the same thing happened, and I was able to take advantage of it. He pushed for that, and it was really good, and I think the boys will do well to adapt to it.

Ball security has been a major focus for Golden State all season, and it is one of the main reasons behind the team’s success thus far. It’s no surprise that in the three losses to the Warriors this season, the team has been sloppy with the ball and given away far too many free points.
Green and Curry both have a tendency to make reckless passes as they move up the ranks, which has led to a lot of turnovers over the years.
At 11-3 and tied for No. 1 in the Western Conference, Golden State’s ball security and lockdown defense have been major factors in the team’s resurgence this season.
Expect Green to continue working on his ball skills as the season progresses, even if it means plenty more film sessions with Kerr.
