"It's a lot more freer here," Green said. "They just let you play. You just gotta come in and do the right thing. I know my role, I'm not going to get outside of that. I know who Steph [Curry] Klay [Thompson] and Jordan [Poole] are. They the main targets, they the main focus of the offense, so you just gotta do your part and knock down open shots."
The nine-year veteran has averaged 7.9 points and 5.7 rebounds per game on 47.2 percent shooting from the field and 36.7 percent from 3-point range throughout his career. Green signed with the Warriors in July after being bought out by the Oklahoma City Thunder and his reason for choosing Golden State is simple.
"I came here to win a championship," Green added. "After seeing all those rings [Tuesday], I gotta get me one."
