Chris Paul made his much-anticipated Golden State Warriors debut last weekend when the Dubs beat the Los Angeles Lakers in their preseason opener at Chase Center. Paul played very well, and his fit with the team started to ease questions and concerns as to how the partnership will work.
It was also notable that Paul played all 13 of his minutes alongside fellow starters Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins, and Kevon Looney. It makes sense that the Warriors played Paul exclusively with the other starters. That figures to be the starting five until Draymond Green returns from injury, and it’s vital that Paul learns to play with his new All-Star teammates, since he’ll have to adjust his style more for them than he will when playing with the team’s bench players.
