The Warriors have already set their regular-season rotation
The NBA season tips off Tuesday, and while plenty of teams will need a chunk of games to figure out which players to use in certain situations, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr has already settled on his 10-man rotation.
There aren't really any surprises here. The starting lineup was a foregone conclusion once Kevin Durant and Zaza Pachulia were signed in free agency, and Andrew Bogut and Harrison Barnes left to join the Mavericks.
The bench unit is slightly interesting, but again, it's really the only logical conclusion to draw from the players on the roster. Kerr was careful not to alienate any of the guys at the end of the bench while making his determination, but the reality is that those players will get the bulk of their minutes in garbage time when the games have already been decided.
