Amid Golden State Warriors star forward Draymond Green's career-best 3-point shooting season, he touched on the reasoning behind his continued improvement. The four-time NBA champion credited his sports psychiatrist for helping him overcome the mental hurdles associated with seeking out and attempting open triples.Green has been a well below-average 3-point shooter for 10 of his first 13 seasons, shooting 32.2% for his career. However, last season, he achieved a career-high 39.5% outside shooting mark on 2.3 attempts per game over 55 outings.The four-time All-Star has taken his long-distance shooting proficiency to an even higher level this season. Through 14 contests, he is shooting 42.9% from deep on 3.5 attempts a night.In an "Open Run with Rachel Nichols" clip posted Thursday, Showtime Sports' Rachel Nichols asked Green "what motivated him" to improve his 3-point shot.After shouting out his trainer, the 2017 Defensive Player of the Year highlighted his sports psychiatrist's impact on his in-game mindset."I did a lot of work to get to this space. Obviously, working with my trainer, Travis, but then also, I did a lot of mental work," Green said."Meeting with our sports psychiatrist, telling him the things that (are) bothering me when I'm getting ready to shoot, or if I'm putting myself in a space to where I'm kind of hiding a bit so I don't get the shot."Playing alongside Warriors superstar point guard Steph Curry, who arguably attracts more gravity than any NBA player, regularly creates open looks for Green. So, the 13-year veteran confidently firing away has seemingly contributed to Golden State's Western Conference-best 11-3 start.Also Read: Draymond Green turns Good Samaritan for 'nervous' All-Star's Steph Curry missionDraymond Green says he's developed confidence to continue hoisting 3-pointers after slow startsDuring his discussion about his improved 3-point shooting, Draymond Green brought up his performance from Friday's 123-118 home win over the Memphis Grizzlies.According to Green, after starting 0-for-3 from downtown, he could have turned passive. However, his confidence remained unshaken, and he finished 3-for-7 (42.9%)."I took seven 3s last game. I started 0-for-3. To take that fourth 3 was a huge mental hurdle for me because I started 0-for-3, and I shot the fourth one," Green said. "And the fourth one went in, but I didn't shoot the fourth one with any hesitation."Green missed all four of his 3-point looks during Wednesday's 120-97 home win over the Atlanta Hawks. His next chance to break out of his shooting slump comes on Friday when the Warriors (11-3) visit the New Orleans Pelicans (4-12).Also Read: NBA ref hilariously tries convincing Draymond Green to keep his "feelings" in check - "Listened to the first 10 minutes of your podcast"
