Oh wow I’m surprised he’s not going Podz in starting lineup. This lineup definitely seems like a good balance of defense and offense. I want to see if Melton can be a tertiary playmaker or shoot a high enough volume to be a more regular starting sg

this is exactly the lineup I’m most excited to see.

Is Wiggs too sick to play?

Potentially short lived victory for the people that want to see JK start since Kerr’s comments made it pretty clear he never had any intention of bringing Wiggins off the bench this year, but at least if JK can prove that he can do SF things next to the preferred Dray/TJD at the 4 and 5, it mildly improves the chances that Wiggins / JK on the wings gets a nod as the starting unit.

Will be very happy if TJD retains the starting center spot.

Melton’s gonna need to have a big year from 3 because on paper it seems lacking firepower. Steph barely gonna have any space, even less than usual.

Dray – 1 Back-breaking tiny ball – 0
Reminder of how highly Dray spoke of TJD as his 5 at the end of last season:
>“[Having Trayce at the 5] allows me to take more chances,” Green said. “Not necessarily chances gambling for a steal, but to clog the paint up, make extra rotations. If I’m the five, I’m the last line of defense. The things that I do off of instinct, reading the game on the fly, it’s hard to do that at the five because you’re anchoring everybody. So if I just run over here to cover up something but I’m the five, that’s leaving the rim unprotected. But if I know the rim is protected with Trayce, I’ll just go do it. > >“It allows everyone to ball pressure more,” Green said. “Closeouts are tighter, ultimately knowing that we have a rim protector back there who has been great with his rotations, altering shots, blocking shots. …We’ve both gotten more comfortable trusting each other. For me, knowing if somebody gets beat, he’s going to be there. I don’t always have to make that extra rotation. Then, vice versa. He gets beat, he knows ‘Draymond is getting my man, let me go find his.’”

Curry won’t be playing afaik

Wait a second. So Kerr thought podjimksi was good enough to start over Klay but not good enough to start over *checks notes* D’anthony melton?
Kerr is a fuck boy clown. 36-46 here we come.
