Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green has recently highlighted the positive impact of his suspension on the team's performance, particularly in terms of depth and the emergence of young players. Green's suspension inadvertently allowed for the rise of Jonathan Kuminga as the team's second offensive option, a development Green believes has significantly benefitted the Warriors. Since his return, the team has posted an 8-4 record, indicating a notable improvement. Green also emphasized the importance of Klay Thompson adapting to the evolving team dynamics, stating, "We need a very good Klay to allow us to make a run."

Green also noted the emergence of the youth and how Thompson is adjusting to it:“He’s growing into that. That’s an interesting position to be in. To see him settling in, I think it’s big for this team. We need Klay. We need a very good Klay to allow us to make a run.”
Draymond on the Warriors depth: “Honestly getting suspended helped. Jonathan Kuminga has taken off. Bona fide No. 2 for this team… Our offense don’t look the same like it used to… Not that I wanted to get suspended or that it was good.” (via @anthonyVslater) https://t.co/Q3JHiWnxWr
