Steve Kerr was named the NBA's Coach of the Year in 2016 after guiding the Warriors to a 73-9 regular-season record that was the best in NBA history, and he thinks he has a pretty good idea who will take home the award this season.

Speaking to reporters after Golden State's win over the Rockets on Tuesday, Kerr said that Mike D'Antoni deserves the nod for the job he's done in his first season in Houston.

"I think the fit with the roster and Mike's philosophy has been perfect," Kerr said, via ESPN. "What he's so good at is really giving his players confidence and belief. They're obviously having an amazing year. My guess is that he'll get the trophy. He's earned it."
