Steve Kerr has continued to reshape the Warriors coaching staff after losing two top assistants the past two years to head coaching jobs, Luke Walton to the Lakers and Alvin Gentry to the Pelicans.

The team hired Mike Brown earlier this summer to replace Walton, and this week decided to added former NBA shooter Willie Green to the crew.

For a team with Steve Nash and Steve Kerr on the coaching staff, it's not like they needed shooting advice, but longtime veteran Green adds insight to what is considered one of the league's best coaching staffs.

Green, 35, spent 12 years with the Sixers, Clippers and Magic, playing 52 games two years ago for Orlando. Green was a career 34.6 percent 3-point shooter and always regarded as having a keen eye for the game. Who knows, maybe Green could be the next Tyronn Lue, right there on a championship-caliber bench for Golden State.
