Interested to see how Draymond and Anderson play together. It only really makes sense with the added athleticism and shooting from Hield and Kuminga.
I think we are still looking for our closing lineup. I trust Anderson as much as Steph/Dray in the clutch. Just a fantastic decision maker, but he still needs someone to finish the play. If he and Dray both have good shooting years this will be an elite combo. Does Anderson play the 5 in this scenario?
I still prefer Melton at the 2, but you have to feed Buddy when he’s hot. This is probably the best lineup to adjust for the lack of defense from Steph/Buddy.
I feel like Draymond and Kyle are essentially the same player, they shouldn’t share the floor much.
If it’s up to me, starters are Curry, Melton, Wiggins, Dray, Loon.
Then 2nd unit and will be sub in based on starters rest time. It will be JK, TJD, Buddy, Podz, and whatever the team needs for that day (GP2 for defending guards, Moody for defending wings, and Slomo for defending slow bigs)
