Former Warriors big man DeMarcus Cousins took to the "Run It Back" show to give Green high praise, underscoring his belief in the young shooting guard's potential to become a star in the NBA.

Cousins reflected on Green’s growth, highlighting that despite his impressive outing, the 21-year-old is still developing.

"The scary part about it is he’s still learning how to play this game. He’s still not a finished product. Once he finds consistency, he’s gonna be a star in this league," said Cousins.

Green exploded in Game 2 against the Warriors with a 38-point display, which included 6 assists and four rebounds. He shot 52% from the field and 44% from three, with 8 threes of 18 made.

Teams will play the next game in the Chase Center on April 27th.
