Draymond Green: I think we have adjusted to to not having Andrew Bogut on defense
Losing Andrew Bogut's rim protection was an obstacle, but now Golden State is overcoming that, understanding how to make use of the new talent
Golden State Warriors defense improved since the season has started. And a potential candidate for the Defensive Player of the Year, Draymond Green, explained why.
Per ESPN, Losing Andrew Bogut's rim protection was an obstacle, but now Golden State is overcoming that, understanding how to make use of the new talent.
As Green said after the game, "You lose a guy like Bogut who, you almost can funnel stuff to Bogut. You funnel someone to him, you know he's there and he can kind of erase any mistake that someone makes, and then you lose that, you have to get used to not having that there. When you had it there for the last four years, it takes a little while to adjust to that. However, I think we adjusted to it."
