After defeating the Detroit Pistons without Stephen Curry and Draymond Green, the Golden State Warriors flexed their depth for the entire league to see.
Curry, who was questionable for their last game against Cleveland, deserved a much-needed night off. Green, who has also been playing many minutes at a high level, was able to get a rest day and the team still come out on top.
The Golden State Warriors have been phenomenal, and some players are starting to earn more trust with head coach Steve Kerr.
The fact the Dubs are able to do that is a testament to how well head coach Steve Kerr has compiled this roster.
Kerr has brought in several key veterans that know how to play basketball the right way, and he’s meshed them with high-potential rookies like Moses Moody and Jonathan Kuminga. It’s been a combination that’s worked extremely well.
In doing so, Kerr can also see who will contribute and continue to gain minutes in his around ten-man rotation.
Obvious when Curry and Green return, they’ll get as many minutes as they can handle, but with the several blowouts and those two having rested against Detroit, the Dubs were able to see a few new faces play well.
That said, let’s dive into who has earned more minutes.
