Kerr on the Dray/Trayce frontcourt: “Trayce and Dray together have changed our team. I mean, it’s pretty dramatic, just the rim protection, the rebounding Trayce gives us, what that allows Dray to do. It’s been really fun to watch them together. Trayce, for a rookie, it’s amazing what he’s doing.

It took Kerr this long to realize this?!? SMH love Kerr but sheesh if he had more faith in TJD earlier we wouldn’t be battling for a play in
Kuminga bout to out out another statement 😂😂😂
since february 22nd which is when jackson-davis finally got back into the regular playing rotation getting at least double digit minutes per game of court time
the curry/thompson/wiggins/green/jackson-davis lineup has a
114.4 offensive rating , 93.3 defensive rating, +21.1 net rating, 57.4% rebounding %
the curry/thompson/wiggins/kuminga/green lineup has a
150.9 offensive rating , 92.3 defensive rating, +58.6 net rating, 56.3% rebounding %
the starting 5 for the last handful of games since kuminga has been out has with his knee tendonitis has been very good but the 5 man unit of the core 3 along with wiggins and kuminga is still better over the last month and a half of play
are they really going to make kuminga come off the bench and who knows how many minutes he’ll get if that’s his role the rest of the season when he gets back onto the court which could happen as soon as friday
it’ll be interesting to see how the warriors play this out going forward and especially what rotations kerr will use in the play in tournament and possibly any future playoff series potentially this month
They should have traded Kuminga at the deadline when he had value, he’s never going to be a playoff guy for us
I think a starting 5 of TJD-Dray-Wiggs-Moody-Curry would be really nice. Moody has proven he can shoot well given consistent minutes and he’s really good on defence. A bench of CP3-Klay-Kuminga-Podz-GPII is really insane.
God damn we love you Kerr but everyone on this sub saw this by game 30 not 60
If only someone over the last 5 years had mentioned to Kerr and the Warriors organization that we need a rim protecting+dunking+lob threat…. We tried once with Wiseman. Then got more guards.
Congratulations MDJ!!!!
There were grumblings of concern regarding TJD being a 4 year college player — looks like he’s fine. He’s got high BBIQ, same with Podz, and has adjusted & meshed with our team well.
When JK becomes healthy, looks like we’ll have more discourse over what the starting 5 should be. Maybe we rotate depending on match up?
Trayce being the back line allows Draymond to do what he does best; roaming on defense
TJD reminds me of a less passy, more bouncy bogut lol
How did TJD drop to us that late in the draft is beyond me
Only took him 70 games. The dickheads who try to act like he never makes mistakes need to shut up because people could see trayce needed to play more since the beginning of the season.
What’s crazy is that JK will come back from injury and find himself being #10 in the rotation 😂
Everyone else is playing so fucking amazing. Moody stepped up big time.
I don’t know the statistics on this, but are we a better rebounding team with TJD in there?
I feel like we’re cleaning up our boards SO MUCH better.
I love JK but I feel like he doesn’t like to get in there and get dirty to get boards, or not nearly often enough.
Another problem solved?
I get this and am excited about them playing together. However, the next step is keeping this up against a team with a star big(s) like Nuggets, Lakers, Wolves, etc. I just wonder if TJD can handle playing this way while being responsible for guarding AD, Joker, KAT, Sabonis and so on, including Chet. These star bigs are what worry me the most in the playoffs.
