Warriors' Draymond Green explains Steve Kerr's consistency issues

The Golden State Warriors have been one of the most inconsistent teams in the NBA this season.

They're 13-14 and in eighth place in the Western Conference, and it seems like people never know what version of them they're going to get. Outside of Stephen Curry's heroics and big-scoring performances, there are no guarantees for a team that continues to shake up the starting lineup and the rotation.

With that in mind, Draymond Green addressed the criticism of Steve Kerr's decision to keep testing things out despite being past the first quarter of the season.

Draymond Green defends Steve Kerr's rotation changes

"Everyone needs consistency, but we haven't consistently been good," Green said on his podcast. "You build consistency with something that's working, if it's not working you don't keep doing the same thing, you try to find what is going to work, find groups that work together and until then you're tweaking things."

The four-time NBA champion acknowledged that he understands why the fans might be frustrated by watching players go in and out of the starting lineup and even the rotation. Sometimes, it varies from one game to another. Still, the Warriors are trying to figure out what works best for them.

"So, I understand why there hasn't been the consistency or continuity that people have been speaking about, because you have to find what works," Green added. "Then once you find something that works, you don't go away from it, you lean into that."

Of course, with more than a decade in charge of the team, Kerr's Warriors should have a well-defined identity by now. Then again, with little to no moves in the offseason, an aging roster and young players who didn't turn out to be as good as expected, Kerr might be doing the best he can with the hand he's been given.
