Steve Kerr talks about Frank Vogel:
"Frank is running the defense obviously, so we're using some of his transition defensive drills, some of his rebounding drills. We've been watching tape of Dallas' training camp from last year, the drill work that Frank did with them. Frank said 'No more Dallas tape after today' because guys don't like watching other teams, so now we have enough tape for our shelves to watch our own camp tape, but Frank is awesome. He's a great, great coach and he's doing a really good job getting these guys organized, giving them kind of the expectations for how we're going to defend, our terminology, and I'm very confident we're going to have a good defense."
A couple notes from Warriors camp: Kerr said Steph and Draymond will start. The other three spots in the starting lineup will be decided over the next few weeks of camp.
Melton said he had surgery on both of his thumbs in the offseason and is feeling about 85/90 percent back now
#Warriors guard De’Anthony Melton said GSW’s defense will have “teeth” under Frank Vogel.
Said at media day Golden State’s goal is to have a top-3 defense. Asked him why that’s a realistic goal.
“We got more size at positions that we needed it.”
More: “We got to punch first.”
Buddy Hield said he prides himself on his veteran mentorship for this young Bulls team and cited Draymond Green, Steph Curry, Jimmy Butler and Steve Kerr as positive influences for leadership.
Also called Caleb Wilson and Matas Buzelis “violent drivers.” I like that one
New: Warriors guard De'Anthony Melton revealed that he underwent offseason surgery on each of his thumbs.
He's recovered now, but playing through the discomfort contributed to some of his inconsistencies last year.
