Steve Kerr Gives Honest Answer About Chris Paul's Role

Speaking with ESPN’s Tim Bontemps, Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr got honest when asked about Chris Paul's role on the team.

"I think that'll be a case where you get three weeks of training camp before that first game," Kerr said. "We'll just look at all kinds of different combinations. The main thing is we know all those guys are going to play a lot of minutes. But the luxury of having Chris Paul to add to this group that we've been lucky enough to have for a decade... pretty remarkable. He is one of the great competitors in the game. He's one of the great point guards of all time. I think he's a great addition for us, because of his ability to control games, control tempo, take care of the ball."

Kerr added, "We had a lot of turnovers last year. We need to improve that. And the great thing with Chris, he's so smart that he'll figure it out. Whether he's playing with Steph or without Steph. He's incredibly smart, and the whole group is really smart. It's been a hallmark for our team with Draymond and Steph and Klay and Andre [Iguodala] and all these guys. So you put a bunch of talented, smart players together, good things are going to happen."

It's clear the Warriors feel that Paul will make them a smarter team, whether that's off the bench or in the starting lineup.
