The Golden State Warriors have another preseason matchup on Wednesday night, and they will have Steph Curry available. The superstar point guard sat out Golden State’s last preseason matchup, but it was announced by Shayna Rubin of Mercury News that Curry will return to the lineup on Wednesday, along with Chris Paul.
The dynamic between Curry and Paul is one the Warriors have been working on long before training camp began. Understanding the two point guards will share the floor together a lot, the Warriors have wanted to get Paul and Curry as many reps together as possible during training camp and the preseason. With both players resting together last game, they look to be making their return to the floor in this one.
The addition of Paul was a multilayered one for the Warriors. While there was an undeniable financial advantage of adding Paul’s expiring over Poole’s longterm deal, the Warriors also felt the veteran point guard would help their team in several different ways. One of the biggest ways Paul projects to help the Warriors is when Steph Curry is on the bench; however, with the two starting together throughout the preseason, it seems Golden State anticipates them playing together quite a bit as well.
Curry is such a unique point guard, because he is dominant on the ball, but also off the ball. This helps his chemistry with Paul, and the two will be on the floor together again vs. the Kings in this one.
