- Somebody other than Anthony Lamb — and presumably somebody better than Lamb — will get the 1,195 minutes he played last season.
- Kuminga probably won’t merely be a rotation piece, he could be a difference-maker this season.
- The Warriors will miss Poole’s offensive firepower and durability, but they can get more than that from Paul and others.
- Paul is good for the Warriors, even if his arrival complicates Kerr’s starting and closing lineup decisions.
- They should be a lot better on the road than they were last season. They have to be.
I think the second point was solved this season. I’m a real believer their bench will be significantly better this season. I’m not a believer in them holding up without Steph however, so hopefully he doesn’t get hurt again. He’s had a lot of flukey injuries, not necessarily concerning injuries in terms of his body breaking down.
