Yeah, with the lineup – I prefer if Melton starts, Buddy’s defense is suspect and he’s averse shooting contested in sixers. Steph will still play with him anyway
Honestly we need another big, not necessarily center. A big or a taller wing will complete the lineup nicely (if lauri’s not gonna be here)

Ain’t no way Buddy Hield starting.

Swap Moody and GP2…..GP2 can only play limited minutes due to being injury prone.

Team is really deep but lacking top level talent. Feel like there’s not enough minutes to go around. Only players I don’t expect to play are Lindy and Gui. If we can get Markannen without giving up Kuminga, I think we are contenders.
Mygaffer
I’ll be shocked if Buddy is a starter for this team.
I don’t think they will start Draymond at center. My guess is they will look early at starting TJD.
Top5hottest
That team needs another star
karnivoreballer
My line up would be:
Steph / Melton
Podz / Hield / GP2
Kuminga / Wiggins / Moody
Draymond / Kyle Anderson
TJD / Post / Looney

Don’t think you can start Dray at the 5, especially as he’s getting up there in years.

Me and kerr are gonna throw hands if buddy hield starts.
BlueberryOGSuperGlue
Buddy won’t start
bmathey
I don’t know how I feel about Dray at the 5. He’s at his best at the 4 as a sort of defensive free safety
AmelieBenjamin
So weird not seeing Klay right under steph
Altruistic-Twist-379
Swap gp2 with moody, and play him the limited minutes
livecents84
Dubs are going to be so small at the 2 spot smh
McJumbos
A ton of different starting combos

Posty making the roster mark my words

We might score under 100

TJD should start at centre and push Wiggins to the bench. Kuminga will be a 20ppg player this year, Wiggins’ scoring isn’t overly necessary and I think they’d benefit more from having a paint presence on both ends.

Poor moody man. Just like that hes back at the end of the bench.

1 steph 2 Wiggins 3 kuminga 4 green 5 tjd
oops_im_wrong
The Warriors have a #1 (Curry), a #3 (Draymond), a #4 (Wiggins), and a bunch of very good role players for a title team. You can see any of the Melton, Hield, TJD, GP2, SloMo, JK, Looney, and Moody group being contributors to a title team but they’re not necessarily high end talent. Looney has shown he can be a #5 guy and JK obviously has the talent to be more than a role player but the team as constructed is missing a few pieces to push them into contender status.
Having 8 guys that deserve rotation minutes is great for the regular season but it seems MDJ already knows he needs to package 2 or 3 these guys to get a #2 behind Curry. Depending on who they trade for (Markkanen/Ingram) and what they give up (Wiggins, JK, etc), the Warriors still feel 1 to 2 players away from being a playoff dark horse.

Brandon is starting at the 2 and then he’ll rotate – or Melton will be in before Hield. Buddy is a second unit scorer with us. Also Moses is a 3 behind Andrew

We’re missing a real center. Time to move on from small ball lineup

What’s up with Wiggins?
Hope it’s more than being nice backfiring.
