The new starting group should be a strong defensive combination but may lack perimeter shooting.
Golden State Warriors’ Trayce Jackson-Davis takes a pass from Chris Paul against the Chicago Bulls, Thursday, March 7, 2024, at Chase Center in San Francisco, Calif. With Steph Curry sidelined with a sprained right ankle, Golden State is turning the offense over to veteran point guard Chris Paul. In an additional wrinkle, the Warriors removed Andrew Wiggins from the starting lineup, replacing him with rookie center Trayce Jackson-Davis.
Jackson-Davis sprained his ankle on Thursday night and was initially listed as questionable, but will play through the injury. He has impressed recently as a lob threat and rim protector. He and Paul have developed a strong rapport, with the point guard finding him either on alley-oop dishes or pocket passes when he rolls to the basket.
The non-Curry starters should be an athletic, defensive-minded combination. Green, Kuminga, and Jackson-Davis are three of Golden State’s best and most switchable defenders. The question may be if the group can muster up enough outside shooting.
