[Saba Sports News] With Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson in the backcourt, fans initially speculated that Warriors newcomer Chris Paul might come off the bench this season. However, Coach Steve Kerr neither confirmed nor denied Paul’s starting role. He mentioned that the team essentially has six starters, and decisions will be made based on training camp performances, emphasizing that all six players will see significant playing time.
Kerr stressed the importance of humility and team buy-in, emphasizing that the success of their dynamic depends on the entire team embracing their roles. He highlighted their competitive spirit and the need for the group to figure things out together.
For Chris Paul, adapting to the Warriors presents a significant adjustment. While he brings extensive experience, his role will differ significantly from his previous stints in Phoenix, Oklahoma City, and Los Angeles. There have been discussions about Paul’s desire to start, but he may need to accept a different role given the team’s makeup and strategy.
The Warriors are under pressure to perform better after a challenging previous season and the departure of Jordan Poole. The team’s chemistry is delicate, and they cannot afford internal distractions, particularly from their new point guard, Chris Paul. His performance will be critical to the team’s success, and any resistance to his role could be detrimental to the seven-time NBA champions.
