On Tuesday, the Golden State Warriors got their second win of the season and their first since Stephen Curry<\/a>\u2019s ankle sprain after completing a comeback against the New Orleans Pelicans. Before doing so, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr made the decision to rework the starting lineup<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With Curry and Andrew Wiggins<\/a> (lower back strain) out, Buddy Hield<\/a> and Brandin Podziemski<\/a> started in their place. However, the changes didn\u2019t stop there. Kerr also moved Jonathan Kuminga<\/a> to the bench, starting Moses Moody<\/a> to the bench. This was a move obviously designed to generate better spacing but one that Kerr is also simply more comfortable with.<\/p>\n

Kerr and Kuminga disagree about his position. Kerr acknowledges the benefits of Kuminga\u2019s athleticism but is dismayed by his limitations beyond the arc. Going back to last season, Kuminga playing well doesn\u2019t even mean that he\u2019ll play more because his play style isn\u2019t the Warriors way<\/em>. However, there\u2019s no use in crying over spilled milk, so Kuminga just keeps his head down<\/a> and goes to work.<\/p>\n
