On September 25, Beijing time, although Wiseman has returned, for Warriors , their starting center will still be Looney . During this offseason, I thought Looney would leave, but the Warriors knew the importance of Looney. Looney stayed behind the Warriors for 3 years of $25.5 million.
In order to stay with the Warriors, Looney even gave up on other teams' higher salary quotes. It was the Warriors who made Looney, so Looney also gave back to the Warriors, and the Warriors also knew the importance of Looney. Therefore, the Warriors' starting center in the new season is still Looney.
Recently, the head coach of the Warriors Keor made it clear in an interview with the media that Looney will still be the team's starting center in the new season. So, even if Wiseman returns, the Warriors still choose Looney, so is Wiseman going to be the second place to become a parallel player? Not, he just needs some growth time.
As the second place in 2020, Wiseman's talent and physical condition are above Looney, but Wiseman was injured many times and missed a lot of room for growth. Therefore, for the Warriors, Looney's importance may be above Wiseman. After all, Wiseman's strength is limited now.
According to the general situation of NBA, it is hard to imagine that the second-tier center with a talented second-team to play a substitute for an ordinary blue-collar insider, but this is the case with the Warriors. After all, strength is the first place here. Even Curry sometimes has to play a substitute for Pole , especially when you just returned from an injury.
Koll continues to let Looney play as the starter in the new season, and Wiseman plays as a substitute, which is a very correct decision. After all, as the key to defending the title, the Warriors need to strive for the championship, so whether the team's strength can be maximized is very important for Kerr's deployment.
