Kerr: Warriors’ starting 5, identity to emerge from competition

The Golden State Warriors are heading into training camp with a lot of lineup questions to answer, especially at the shooting guard position left open by Klay Thompson. Coach Steve Kerr is looking for the right combination of players to create a cohesive starting lineup and bench unit. The team struggled with lineup consistency last season, using 27 different starting lineups. Kerr is emphasizing competition and players giving their best effort to earn their spots. The team is focusing on being a strong defensive team and supplementing their shooting, especially with the absence of Thompson. Overall, the Warriors are looking at this season as a chance to reinvent themselves and establish a new identity through competition and hard work.
