Coach Steve Kerr has used the preseason to experiment with different rotations around Curry and Green.
, who has moved into the locker next to Curry since coming to San Francisco this summer. They spoke quietly to one another, breaking down some plays from the night's game."We've got to find our identity with this team because Klay was such a huge part of our identity for the last 12 years," Warriors coach Steve Kerr told ESPN.
"This feels like a new beginning for us, whereas last year felt like an extension of who we already were. ... It gives us a chance to reinvent ourselves a little bit." " look great together," Kerr said."They just look for each other. De'Anthony is a really good shooter, a playmaker, and gets in the mix on everything defensively. I'm a big fan of De'Anthony."
He went 6-of-7 from 3 against the Kings on Oct. 9 and afterward said he feels his shot will only get better as he gets more acclimated to his new team and offensive system. So far, Hield is shooting 59% from 3 through the preseason. Podziemski studies everything Curry does -- whether it's standing several feet behind him while he shoots at practice or sitting courtside during his pregame routine. He has also initiated several conversations with Curry during the preseason to discuss how to properly spread the floor when they share the court.
Entering his fourth year, there are high expectations for Kuminga -- both from his coaches and himself. Despite Green's success in the middle of the Warriors so-called"death" lineups in their championship years, Kerr wants to limit his minutes at center. Green agrees that he is naturally a power forward, but complicating the matter is the emergence of Kuminga and Kerr's desire to play him more -- and possibly have him as a high-volume scorer alongside Curry.
Kuminga's play at small forward improved in the second game against the Kings, when he started alongside Green and Looney in the frontcourt, with Curry and Podziemski at the guard spots.to the bench. Wiggins has missed training camp and the first four preseason games, but the Warriors expect a bounce-back season from him after two lackluster years.
