Golden State Warriors' starting players and roster for the new season!
The Golden State Warriors won the 2021-22 NBA championship, and many believe they are well positioned to win the championship again next season. Because their main squad hasn't changed much, plus some young players have grown quite a bit, the Big Three are still competitive, although they are a year older.
In the new season, the Warriors have to fine-tune their system as one of the previous champions, Gary Payton II Jr., leaves the team, with some young players such as Jonathan Cumminga and Moses Moody taking on heavier responsibilities. Head coach Steve Corde made an efficient play in the rotation.
In the starting lineup, the Warriors didn't change, with point guards like Stephen Curry, shooting guard Klay Thompson, small forward Andrew Wiggins, big forward Draymond Green and center Kevin Rooney.
Kevin Rooney, in particular, played 7 seasons with the Warriors and didn't have full playing time until the last season, which also proved that he could make a huge contribution to the Warriors in the defensive and rebounding parts, starting in 82 games and 80 games, 6 points and 7.3 rebounds per game.
Although James Wiseman will return next season, steve Kerr should still let him start from the bench in the new season, considering that he needs time to adapt to the team's playing style, Steve Kerr should still let him start from the bench, Jordan Poole will start from the bench in the new season, although he started 51 games with Klay Thompson last season, also played a career year, averaged 18.5 points per game, 4 assists, and averaged 17 points per game in the playoffs, one of the Warriors' winning heroes, Jonathan Cuminga and Moses Moody are also good green leaf players.
The Warriors signed good veterans Jermiel Green and Donte DiVincenzo on the free agent this summer, and Jermiel Green has been a good interior bench player, signing him is also buying insurance for James Wiseman's unclear status.
Donte DiVincenzo, a championship-experienced guard, is known for his defensive skills, averaging 1.1 steals per game in his career and a good three-pointer (34.7%), and the addition of these two players can minimize the loss of Gary Payton II and Otto Potter Jr.
Curry is still at his peak, Klay Thompson, who returned from injury, proved that he still has strong offensive firepower, and Andrew Wiggins and Jordan Poole are baptized and ready to take the baton of the Big Three, and I believe that the Warriors are still a very threatening defending army and a big favorite to win the next championship.
