JaMychal Green’s contract with Warriors fully guaranteed

“Donte is a perfect fit for the way we play,” Kerr said. “The ball movement, the cutting. He’s a great cutter. He’s a really good spot-up shooter. He’s a good passer on the move. He’s not just a spot-up shooter. He’s a secondary playmaker. Pretty bouncy, but with a great feel for the game. He’s gonna fit right in.” How about JaMychal Green? “He’s the logical replacement for Otto and Beli,” Kerr said. “One guy replacing two. He’s capable of sort of playing either role, the four or the five. If he’s playing with Draymond, he can stretch the floor and can guard the five, while Draymond guards the four. He gives us frontcourt flexibility.” -via The Athletic / August 2, 2022

Just like Porter a year earlier, Green comes to the Warriors hoping to resuscitate his market value. During his phone conversation with JaMychal, Draymond told him, “If you come here and handle business, you can set yourself up for life.” That was all JaMychal needed to hear. Undrafted out of Alabama in 2012, he ping-ponged between the G League and France for two years before eventually finding his NBA niche with the Grizzlies. Now, just 11 months after signing a two-year, $16.4 million deal with the Nuggets, Green finds himself back in prove-it mode. -via San Francisco Chronicle / August 2, 2022

Seven seasons into his NBA career, he has appeared in only 49 playoff games and has yet to escape the second round. Now, Green should be in the rotation of a title contender. “I couldn’t tell (Kerr) no,” Green said. “Given everything they’ve built over there, I just knew I’d love to be a part of it.” -via San Francisco Chronicle / August 2, 2022
