Steve Kerr remains committed to the Warriors’ starting line-up, whether or not it’s the best five-man unit in the Golden State.

Carrie and Greene have the right chemistry for players who have been teammates for nearly a decade, but Oubre, Wiggins and Wiseman are still relatively newcomers. Weizmann has not played even 20 college and National Basketball Association matches since graduating from high school in 2019, and Wiggins has not played a single game with both Carrie and Green in the Warriors squad last season, and has traded Golden State with Oubre not even two months ago.

Weizmann hardly ever participated in the boot camp and Green never did, so the junior warriors have trained together for a little over a month. They started nine matches together in 2021, a byproduct of a compressed timeline in the middle of a global pandemic still ongoing.

According to Kerr, the group’s lack of cohesion is normal.

“So it will take some time, and in the meantime there will be some growing pains,” said Care. But I agree with that because for us to be great on the road – be it by the end of this year or even next season – James has to evolve, and Kelly and Andrew have to feel comfortable. I’m willing to sacrifice some things early in the season to try to get to where we want to be later. “
