How Kerr’s Warriors film session helped Draymond limit turnovers originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
Draymond Green credits recent film session with Steve Kerr to help him curb his turnovers.
Speaking to the media on Wednesday after the Warriors’ 120-97 win over the Atlanta Hawks, Green explained how Kerr harped on him to reduce his turnovers
“Steve was with Steph and I on 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 risky full court issues. And Steph and I talked about it a lot. So, for him to show me the half court stuff when I get faster. I felt one where I sped up today and I almost flipped it, but I didn’t.
“But then I felt four or five of them where he showed me the clips and the same thing happened, and I was able to take advantage of it. He talked about that, and it was really good, and I think those guys are doing a good job of adapting to it.”

Ball security has was an important focus for Golden State all season long, and it’s one of the main reasons behind the team’s success thus far. It’s no surprise that in the Warriors’ three losses this season, the team has been sloppy with the ball, giving away too many free points.
Green and Curry both tend to make sloppy passes going up the court, which has caused a lot of turnovers over the years.
Sitting at 11-3 and tied for the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference, Golden State’s ball security and defense have been major factors in the team’s resurgence this season.
Look for Green to continue working on his ball handling as the season progresses, even if it means many more film sessions with Kerr.
