As the first option. But bigger issue is that it seems Kerr is penciling in podz as the starter. Which leaves us with no bench pg, no defense, and more small ball.
I'd expect Podz will still be the bench pg. Curry is going to get taken out early and podz will run the team and then curry will come back in at end of quarters hopefully. But yea Podz is going to get 30 mpg most likely. If you're worried about small ball then Draymond is small for his position by like 3". TJD is small for his position by like 3". Podz is small for a 2 guard by like 2". I mean ideally Moody would be good enough to take the starting sg spot but he's only taller than Podz by .75", and sure his wingspan makes up for that but Podz rebounds and is willing to fight downlow so whatever. Podz doesn't really play small.
If podz is starting, tjd or wiggins won't be.
Steph and podz is a short back court with an even shorter wingspan. Teams will just shoot over them. Jk's is just under 7ft as well. Dray, wiggins, and tjd all have 7+ wingspans, so I'm not concerned about their lack of height.
If podz starts, that would put wiggins back at poa with steph, podz, or jk having to be the primary perimeter help defender which all 3 struggle with. That's alot to put on dray. You can probably get away with it for the first 3 quarters, but it's in the 4th we will get into trouble. Teams actually hunt and plan at that point.
