Live broadcast, May 22-recently, Warrior coach Cole talked about team veteran Clay in an interview with the media.
Cole talked about Clay’s situation: “He and I had such a conversation in the All-Star Game. When you reach a certain age, maybe you have some injuries, which you must adapt. Think about any great player. When they get older, Jordan adds his low skills and the magician becomes a very good shooter at the end of his career.”
“As a veteran, you must realize that you must change. There are a lot of big things to consider for clay during this off-season. Really think about what aspects he needs to develop and how he can get better, but don’t deny his outstanding performance in the second half of the regular season.”
The reporter asked whether Cole had considered not letting Clay start next season? Cole said, “Never! He is still an excellent player and he still has a lot to offer. As I said, he is still the starting player in this league, which is certain.”
