“Chris is amazing,” Kerr said. “He keeps the game so easy and he’s such a great passer. There’s a pace to the game that is fun to watch as a coach where you just kind of know he’s going to just be making the right play over and over.
“And he understands when we need to pull it back and get into an action or play faster because he understand the rhythm of the game. Chris is amazing. It’s really fun to have him on our side, finally.”
