Think of that depth chart as both fluid and a little misleading.
For starters, we’re not entirely sure about the starters. Coach Steve Kerr usually practices caution with giving Draymond Green too many minutes as small-ball center, so there’s absolutely a chance that Trayce Jackson-Davis works his way into the opening lineup. Veteran mainstay Kevon Looney could even man the middle in certain matchups.
If the Dubs want to put their best five on the floor, though, then they need to slot Green at the 5 to clear the forward spots for Andrew Wiggins and Jonathan Kuminga. They also probably need to have Brandin Podziemski at the 2. That could leave this guard group a little exposed defensively, but Stephen Curry needs a release valve on offense, and Podziemski arguably offers the best blend of shooting, handling and distributing.
It’s sort of a minutes mash behind those five. Newcomers De’Anthony Melton, Buddy Hield and Kyle Anderson will all play, but it’s unclear where or how often. It’s also tough to tell whether Moses Moody might get denied regular floor time once again. And while there isn’t an obvious candidate to replace Paul as Curry’s backup, there are several candidates for the job, including Melton, Anderson and even Podziemski doing double-duty.
