Should Draymond Green Still Be Starting For Golden State Warriors?

1. Triple single should be a sixth man

2. Start yaxel and let draymond finish games

3. Although there is a lot of IFs for the warriors, I can see a lot of them landing. Like Williams being a better shooter than advertised. Yaxel having a great season not just for a rookie. I can see will having a huge impact similar to last year. I can see melton playing a lot better and with more rhythm slotting back in to his more natural role on the team. I can see Steph being healthier than last year in particular. I can see Jimmy looking almost the exact same before injury and having an immediate impact for the warriors.

4. Steph, Podz, Gui, Yaxel, Kp is my favorite lineup to test out this preseason. Bassey can shoot 3s he got the green light to shoot this season. 💪😤

5. I don't know how you can watch basketball over a certain number of years and still concern yourself about "starts vs doesn't start". Why should one care? Isn't it how much minutes you get and how much contribution you give that counts? I honestly don't know if Josh Hart starts for the knicks or not, I just know that he gets a ton load of minutes and he's really important on that team.

6. yes until jimmy gets back at least, otherwise who's running the offense and floor generaling? plus steph is better when draymond is on the floor.

7. What are you talking about not making “old mistakes?” Do you mean blowing so much smoke up the rooks to the point poole and kuminga thought they were Steph curry or MJ and left thinking they were unappreciated only to find out they sucked and were over-appreciated by the warriors?

8. Id slide draymond to the bench in order to let the youngins bang get experiance and let him play against lesser competetion and run the second unit

9. 1. what games did Draymond come off the bench last season?
   2. Draymond + Steph is not a force multiplier anymore. Not by the numbers. This is not to hate on Draymond, I still think he should play the bulk of his minutes with Stephen. But I dont think he should play the bulk of Stephens minutes.
   3. Who plays well when Steph is off is an overrated metric. I have numbers to prove it.

   The team needs to be creative with how they save Stephen's energy, but at the same time, that doesnt mean they can build a great team around him AND with him on the bench. You're sort of building one or the other.

10. Steph,Podz, Yaxel GUI and KP

11. Just put it this way,…15.9 BPM!!!AGAIN.. 15.9 BPM!!!! Keep it simple people!!!

12. Objective win the west or at least avoid the playi ng get experieance against the east manage your vets and build team chemistry

13. If piston cant lead in East,CC cant win the mvp.I think The East has good teams now,so much so that CC has no chance to win the mvp.

14. Its not about starting its about chemistry rotate gui and yaxel allow them both to play with draymond and steph in different matchups they all getting paid the same. Vets should be able to make up points we might be down against second stringers. Use steph as a decoy for the first half and let steph cook in the second half. B dubb should be able to keep us in games with Pods gui and yax KP And Al keep the OGs as gresh as possible until mody and JB comes back

15. Keep JB Moody dray and GP pllkaying against the 2nd string. Let Bassey use up his fouls and beat up the opps first string and just keep things close enough for steph to strike with a high powered sh9ting line up

16. No. We have to get consistent offense from that position and we don’t get that from Draymond.

17. 2:11 Kolsky I'm crying right now, why are Kerr and/or Draymond gonna ruin this outstanding Yaxel lad.

18. Draymondo gotta hit the bench

19. As long as Yaxel gets as much opportunity as Podz, Yaxel a be good

20. Best good position line up for the warriors defense and offense 1. Stephen curry 2. Melton/Williams 3. Yaxel 4. Gui Santos 5. Horford it's time Steve Kerr to change the lineup for better Draymond is not good enough to play center, Draymond best position is to play power forward spot. @LockedOnWarriors @LockedOnWarriors

21. PG Steph
    SG Lavine
    SF Yax
    PF Dray
    C Sabonis

    6 Podz
    7 Richard
    8 Niang
    9 Gui
    10 Simmons

    Jimmy, Moody and Kristaps to Kings for Lavine, Sabonis and Simmons please.

22. Gn draymond impact on the floor last season was it really something to shout about around this time get real

23. Let the youngster keep curry in the movement, space and speed getting in the paint and scoring points

24. this generation thinks they're supposed to get out of college and take over the world day 1

25. The problem with Draymond and Steph is that’s ALL it is. The rest of the players on the floor have to suffer and get no go ahead. Why does draymond HAVE to play. Don’t get it. He’s not good anymore, yet there’s constant talk about the best way to have him on the floor

26. it's not really Steve Kerr decision
    it's a Stephen Curry decision when it comes down to it

27. starting spots are EARNED
    and you don't earn a starting spot in summer league

28. KP just signed for 20mil
    Draymond is a legend
    Gui was the only bright spot last year

    Yax will have to kick the door down in training camp to have any chance at starting.

29. So if Yax falls on his face then you have to hench him and go back to Gui???

    you guys haven't thought this through…

    and you don't appreciate how good Gui was in the past year..

30. WRONG

    Podz will run the second unit.

    you guys aren't paying attention.

31. A competent coach will have Gui and Yaxel startng, and have Niang and Green coming in to spell them, but stagger that rotation.

32. Yaxel shouldn't start at the 4 his rookie year. He has good size but he's not big for the position and we need big wings so the 3 seems like his best place. Gui is not good enough moving his feet to defend wings and Kerr wont start Gui over Dray
