He stepped up as the #1 last time they played. Tougher to step up as a #1 though when there are fewer scoring options. Easier for Book to step up with Warren around and Warren to step up with Booker around, but when one is out, the opposing defense can throw most all their attention on one guy.
For sure, it’s definitely harder but that’s what Warren will have to do. Kinda like how Beal has stepped up lately without Wall despite the added attention or how LMA has done this season without Kawhi etc.
It’s gonna be a challenge but hopefully he’s ready for it.
Beal's been stepping up all year. Warren did well in his first game but with lack of spacing it makes how he will operate tougher because defenses can collapse the paint. We just need others to start hitting more of their threes, and hopefully in time, him as well, but he's gotten better in that regard his last few games.
