Heading into Friday night’s NBA Cup contest against the Memphis Grizzlies, Steve Kerr opted to start Lindy Waters III alongside Stephen Curry and Andrew Wiggins in the Golden State Warriors’ backcourt. After securing the start, Waters III tallied Golden State’s first five points of the contest against the Grizzlies. However, late in the first half, Waters III appeared to suffer an injury. Before halftime, Waters III met Grizzlies forward Santi Aldama at the rim for a block. While Waters III erased the fast break layup from Aldama and the Grizzlies, the Warriors sharpshooter landed awkwardly and appeared to pick up an injury. Later in the game, Waters III was ruled out for the remainder of the contest with a left knee hyperextension. -via USA Today Sports / November 16, 2024
The Warriors can also sustain the frenetic defensive pace because they have a faster, deeper, stronger rotation than they did last season. At new defensive coordinator Jerry Stackhouse’s urging, they’re harrying opponents by blitzing almost every pick-and-roll, something very different than what the Warriors have done in this era. They give up some open shots this way, but they also cause a lot more chaos and give aggressive, athletic defenders like De’Anthony Melton, Draymond Green, Andrew Wiggins, and Gary Payton II a lot of room to fly around. “We really decided on doing that after the personnel moves this summer,” Kerr said. “Once we added Melt, once we knew GP and Wiggs were healthy and looking good, once we decided to play bigger with Trayce [Jackson-Davis] and Draymond, it just made sense. Jerry really pushed for it and he’s been great at teaching it. But it’s a combination really of personnel and what makes the most sense for our team. Wouldn’t have made sense last year.” -via San Francisco Standard / November 15, 2024
