Strength in Numbers or Just Confusion? How Will The Golden State Warriors Depth Shake Out
The Golden State Warriors, led by Steph Curry have many players they are relying on this season including Jonathan Kuminga, Draymond Green, Buddy Hield, Moses Moody, and more. The question for the Warriors is who becomes expendable due to circumstance. Steve Kerr will have a hard job this offseason to sort through rotations.

I would love to see a Curry, Melton, Wiggs, Kuminga, and Dray…starting lineup. Podz should come off the bench. Kuminga must start or Kerr will lose him. The problem is Dray and TJD create good rim defense and help defense. I don't know if u have enuff scoring with curry podz Kuminga Dray and TJD
3 GUARD LINEUPS BABY !!!!đ¤
I'd like to see Moses get some time at the 2/3 consistently from off the bench – and if he doesn't, he needs to get vocal like JK did last year and start working for a trade.
Perkins is the dumbest person on tv
Why are all these warriors analysts hating on Wiggins, pretty shameful considering what he has endured and what he did to help the dubs win #4
Never seen anything like it
They got a lot of tradeable contracts, this is definitely not the final form of gsw this year. A max level player is gonna end up on the team at some point
I hope yall stand on what yall said about Wiggins when he enters the season with a chip on his shoulders
Warriors shouldn't worry about paying Kuminga entering his prime. They have no worries about paying a 39 yr old Curry over 60M.
Warriors are criminally undersized and cant shoot efficiently at their positions if AK is a 3. Heâs a 4 with Dray in the way. Canât get rid of Dray cuz of his chemistry with Steph, but Dray is a significantly diminished asset.
This team canât grow with Dray in the picture.
So? They canât grow. Dray had a chokehold on the franchise. Shoulda never gave him an extension.
This team is going score and score
Defense will improve by 10 points less a game
Rebounding is going up
They are built to run other teams into the ground
Most successful players Stating Lineup
Curry, BP, Jonathan, Dray, Trayce – You can shoot and defend just fine Wiggins takes the hit
Bench – Wiggins, Moses, Gui Santos, Lindy Walters
Spot on. I hope Kerr watches this video and heeds your advice.
The shooting guard should be Wiggins…if you gonna start JK..JK should be the three… but he doesn't shoot the 3 well enough..it could be curry ..hield..wiggs..green..tjd….but hield is a terrible defender.. Wiggins Kuminga.. Green…Curry(of course)…should definitely start..
GPII and Looney should be out of the rotation. That leaves 10-man rotation. Moody and Hield can easily play together with Podz and KA handling the ball.
We know Kerr struggles with lineups when there are too many options. This years team is the definition of too many options. I smell a trade coming during the year. Too many players playing the same positions.
Steph melton Wiggs jk draymond
Wiggins 20mins or less, Kuminga 30 mins, Moody 25mins, TJD 25 mins, but Kerr won't do that! He loves his veterans too much!đ
just free the bros already, their talent and career is being squandered in golden state.
Well hell I seen kaminga guarding labron an Wiggins also
Forget starting keep all of them an make other teams keep up if they all play their roles efficiently forget first team second team or even third team make everyone have roles like the old school Celtics or lakers
I dont know why we still speculate on GSW starting lineups, they do the same thing every year. They start the season with a lineup and then try every single floor combination imaginable and look at the analytics and then decide from there, perhaps changing it for other reasons later (like showing off Moodie to increase his Trade value). It's always a fluid thing for the Dubs.
If I had my way, they would put Hield in for Klay and keep the rest of the starting lineup from previous years (including Loon). Podz starting is a waste of his PG skill and development time, Kuminga will do better at the 3 mostly on the 2nd tier defenders and Trayce getting minutes building chemistry with Podz in the pick and roll and Kuminga sounds best to me. Would also be great if DNP's are decided based on opponent, Melton plays more on Donovan (Cavs) and Murray (Nuggets), Post plays against Cavs, Wemby and AD etc, GP2 for Ja and Maxie…. everyone stays healthy longer.
Wiggins is better at basketball than JK.
Hield is very underrated imo, he did very well at the Pacers, so much so that he took the starting 2 position from Ben Mathurin before his injury, in a system that resembles th Dubs' fast paced system (not as much as the Kings and rockets tho)… the 76ers screwed his season, they didn't want him.
Pods is set as the future, let him run the second unit in the Jordan Poole role. Moody or Melton as the starting 2 guard. JK or Wiggins at the small forward depending on form and match up. Dremond at 4 Anderson backup, Jackson Davis starting 5, Looney backup. Defensive menace plug and play: GP2. Buddy and Waters off bench 3 point specialist.
I'm with Draymond on PF being a different skillset than the 3, he just used the wrong analogy. It's not telling a wide receiver to be a quarterback, it's telling a cornerback to be a wide receiver. Same traits right? Speed, length, hands, route knowledge, legal touches knowledge? Not the same thing unless you just happen to have Deion Sanders on your team… The PF has to support the 5 instinctively, weakside blocks, instinctive doubles, inside screens for 5 on offense, boxing out for someone else to get a rebound, Kuminga is a 3 that just hasn't shown SF outside shooting yet…. either way he'll still get minutes at both positions.
Start Wiggins at the 2 with Steph some, Kuminga, TJD, Green. Keep in mind Moody plays better D and offensive rebounds better than Buddy. Melton and Podz both play both guard spots. Minutes for Post at center can make things easier for the team. Draymond and Anderson should play the 4. Warriors cannot play small all the time against everybody.
Kerr is not going to change. The starting five will probably be: Steph, Heald, Wiggs, Draymond, and TJD. Podz, Melton, JK, Moody off the bench. Unfortunately, JK does not have any room to play. I think he gets traded by tradedeadline.
Moses is better than Hields. Size is better, defensively is better, younger and finish to the rims better. But when the organization that you are in doesnât trust in you that exactly what happens. Moses have significantly less play time to develop that the majority of the rookie in the league.
1. Stephen Curry
2. Wiggins
3. Kuminga
4. Green
5. Looney
If Looney is Shooting 3âs that will help space the floor instead of starting Trace Jackson Davis
