Starting Five
We’ll start off with the Australian big man in the paint. Andrew Bogut has credited Steve Kerr in rejuvenating and turning his career around. Kerr’s offense has asked for an uptempo pace for easier transition scores. When Bogut rebounds, he has the green light to dribble up court.
Draymond Green and Harrison Barnes have been catapulted into the starting lineup and have thrived. Green is showing his ability to play the stretch four and is primed for his breakout season and Barnes has improved due to the players around him. In the starting five, the offense is so potent that Barnes has consistently wide open.
The Splash Brothers have found their niche in the NBA. Night in and night out, they are the high octane offensive back court with the ability go for 50 points EACH. The push for transition baskets have given the Warriors more opportunities to shoot. With such a powerful offensive weapons, Kerr has chosen to maximize his scoring opportunities.
The offense utilizes all their weapons. With Kerr’s offense there are pick and rolls, weaves, and back door cuts to maximize movement throughout the floor. Unlike Mark Jackson, Coach Kerr has also asked Curry to play defense on premier opponents.
