Golden State Warriors

NBA lineup data tells us that the Golden State Warriors starting five of Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins, Draymond Green, and Kevon Looney is ...

The Warriors haven’t played enough games to have any meaningful data here. Once again, it’s clear that the new death lineup — the starters, but with Poole replacing Looney — isn’t working. And the offensive and defensive ratings suggest that it’s not working on either end of the court. And second, the new death lineup is not working yet. I wouldn’t worry much about Green, DiVincenzo, and Poole being featured here. the number of points that the team outscores (or underscores) their opponents per 100 possessions. Moses Moody’s have increased (for now), and so have the roles for the veterans. That starting five is good. The first perspective is that Looney is really good. James Wiseman’s minutes have decreased (for now). So let’s jump into it a little bit by looking at the lineup data to see what teammate combinations are playing the best to start the year. They’ve been openly toeing the line between playing the win-now lineups and the win-later lineups.
