Steve Kerr praised the Golden State Warriors’ starting backcourt of Steph Curry and De’Anthony Melton following the team’s 91-90 win over the Los Angeles Clippers to open preseason.
“They look great together. They look for each other. De’Anthony is a really good shooter and also a playmaker.
“He gets into the mix on everything defensively. I’m a big fan,” said Kerr after the game.
Melton signed a one-year, $12.8 million deal with the Warriors over the offseason.
The Warriors also added Buddy Hield on a sign-and-trade.
With Andrew Wiggins sitting out the game due to illness, Jonathan Kuminga was also able to start at small forward next to Draymond Green and Trayce Jackson-Davis.
