WHERE WE KEEP ALL QUOTES: https://LetsGoWarriors.com
QUOTES/NOTES/TOPICS:
• Steve Kerr opens his news conference with expressions of condolence to the family of Joe Roberts, the former Warriors assistant from the 1970s who passed away over the weekend. (Monte Poole)
• Kerr said today was a light day of practice. A lot of individual work. Younger guys were reviewing concepts. “We had a good day.” (Madeline Kenney)
• Still unclear when Draymond Green might return to the team, and he said they’re handling it internally. (Madeline Kenney, 95.7 The Game)
• On Les Quinones: “athletic…we’ll see” and Pat Spencer: “really intriguing prospect.”
• On Kuminga: “still needs work on off-ball defense…being wary to help rather than late…JK has been great. He’s had an excellent training camp… His approach. His attitude. It’s been fantastic…the development continues…it’s about reps…just like James does…He’s starting to get a sense of what kind of player he needs to be to get on the floor for us…can’t be a ball-stopper…we need him to finish a play (not iso)…DHO and dive…fall into points and rebounds.” (me, 95.7 The Game)
• On PNR of Poole and Wiseman: “We haven’t seen a ton of reps…I anticipate that they’ll play quite a bit together this season.” (me, Dalton Johnson)
• On Wiseman being where he should be: “I think he’s further along than I expected him to be…great summer and has been healthy…this is how it’s supposed to look…delayed for a couple years with COVID and injuries…I told him better late than ever…he’s running his own race.” (me)
• On Looney: “first couple years he was a church mouse (but now very vocal)…he’s had his 10,000 hours of guarding pick and roll (and et al).” Monte Poole says Looney told him that he wants to be on an All-Defensive team. “Draymond is the wild card (on defense where Loon is less the free safety).” (me)
• On Steph being an extension of the coaching staff in the locker room: “He’s a communicator…been hard at work these last four or five days trying to make sure things are going okay and people are healing. Steph, he’s our guy.” (me)
• On structure of practices: “Golden Hour…vets are in the training room…young guys are on the floor…trying to get them a ton of reps.”
• On the Draymond altercation and having to counsel the youngsters more: “I told them this is not normal.”
NOTE: From Golden State Warriors practice, day before Portland Trail Blazers preseason game. We will go live Tue 10/11 at 6:30PM PDT for the livechat and commentary during the game, which tips off at 7:00PM!
