What happened
Steve Kerr said he is leaning toward a starting five of Brandin Podziemski, Gui Santos, Yaxel Lendeborg, Steph Curry and Draymond Green, but he has not locked in the group yet with opening night one week away.
The frontcourt picture is pushing Golden State that way: Kristaps Porziņģis still has not reached practice, Al Horford cannot be used as a fixed starter on back-to-backs, and Charles Bassey does not appear to be in the mix.
If this holds, Green likely starts at center in a smaller lineup, with Santos and Lendeborg giving the group some size on the wing. Kerr still has Friday’s preseason game to test alternatives before the Oct. 21 opener.
