Don't want to completely hijack the thread, but as of today the Warrior are 95% done building their roster and I was wondering what some outsiders' perspectives of it were. GS' depth chart:
Curry/Douglas/Nedovic/Machado
Klay/Bazemore
Iggy/Barnes/D. Green
Lee/Speights
Bogut/Festus*/JO
Quick thoughts; swapping out Jack and Landry (and other crap) for Iggy, Speights, JON, and Douglas might make us a little less dynamic on offense. Jack and Landry could both get a good shot for themselves and for certain stretches they could carry the team offensively. The new guys aren't really creators. Iggy is sort of unpredictable in that regard and the other 3 are opportunistic scorers who can be effective, but are typically finishing plays off, not creating them. We're banking on Steph, Klay and Barnes to continue to improve.
That said, we added much more size, length, athleticism, and just flat out more talent on defense. Last year's team did well on defense considering the individual talent, but it will be very interesting to see if they can take the defense to another level by adding Iggy and swapping out some pretty below par defenders with guys who are better defenders as well as bigger and longer. And although I've been somewhat critical so far, the guys we added are actually two way players and Speights and JON's ability to shoot could really add a dynamic to the team that we never had with Bogut, Festus, and Landry playing center.
And I'm assuming Barnes gets relegated to the bench. Hes a big X factor. He'll be going against reserves quite a bit and he should have a major green light on the second unit.
