The Golden State Warriors will have an extremely different look next season.
After Kevin Durant departed the team and Andre Iguodala was traded, the Dubs have focused on acquiring younger players instead of experienced veterans in their quest to remain competitive. Warriors general manager Bob Myers knows that the team is in a new territory, but he also believes that head coach Steve Kerr will do a great job in mentoring their new players.
In an interview with ESPN's Nick Friedell, Myers said that Kerr will focus a lot on teaching the younger guys next season, and that despite the possible challenges that may arise, the Warriors coach is extremely motivated.
“For Steve, it will be a lot of teaching. Before, he had a lot of guys that had operated in his system. But it will be teaching, and I think he'll embrace that too and a lot of learning, a lot of youth. We're going to have more highs and lows probably as far as winning and losing than we've had before. But he seems to be invigorated.”
The Warriors have acquired D'Angelo Russell via trade, Willie Cauley-Stein via free agency, and Jordan Poole, Alen Smailagic, and Eric Paschall via the draft. They may not be good enough to contend for a championship, but they're also going to be competitive. They still have Steph Curry, Draymond Green, and a bunch of young guys who want to prove themselves in the league.
And Kerr is more than willing to show them the way. He's done it before, and certainly doesn't seem to have a problem doing it again.
