Today, the Warriors traveled to take on the Kings, and in the end, they were beaten by the Kings in the second half after leading in the first half. Losing to the Kings 117-123, Curry was targeted by the opponent in this game, scoring 14 points and 12 assists on only 11 shots in the game, and Wiggins scored 25 points today.
Although the Warriors failed to win today, there were two players in the bench who played very brightly, which made many fans shine, because these two players are slightly unfamiliar to fans, they are Santos and center Post.
Santos has only recently entered the Warriors' rotation, and his overall performance has been very good, and he played a very impressive game today, scoring 16 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists on 4-of-5 shooting from beyond the three-point line. Santos played 23 minutes in this game, and it is clear that he has settled firmly in the team's rotation. And Post also had a great performance today, scoring five points and six rebounds in his limited playing time, and hitting a three-pointer.
Santos has clearly locked in a rotation for the Warriors, so how to line up some of the Warriors' injured players could be a problem for Kerr, who is currently playing very well on the court, he is a forward with consistent shooting ability, and his height can defend some interior players. Strictly speaking, he can be regarded as a 3-D player. It is possible that Lee Kyle will be dropped by Kerr next, because Lee Kyle does not have a good three-point shooting ability compared to Santos. And there is some overlap between the styles of Kyle Lee and Green, and if the Warriors want to expand the rotation after Green's return, they would rather give Santos playing time.
Through this game, it is also clear that the Warriors' system can indeed develop players. The fact that players like Santos and Post were suddenly asked to play time but were immediately able to make an impact on the court proves that the Warriors' private training and their system are nurturing. They can make a player improve in the team and show something if the team needs him on the pitch. Maybe that's why Kerr wants to expand the rotation, because when players are injured, these players can be progressively improved and replenished in time.
