The Golden State Warriors have such a smart offensive lineup that any player who gets lost off the ball on defense is going to pay for it. Defensive weaknesses are going to be punished relentlessly against this Warriors group. Sam Vecenie of the Game Theory podcast recently broke it down:
“Because of how smart everybody on the court is for Golden State—and I will throw Kuminga into that now within that scheme, he has been very good to this point within scheme for Golden State in these first two games—but certainly you look at the triumvirate of Steph, Jimmy, and Draymond,” Vecenie said.
