There aren’t too many questions about the Golden State Warriors. The two-time defending NBA champions are retaining their core pieces from a year ago, and are, unquestionably, favorited to win their fourth title in five years.
But while there aren’t many questions, there are a few as the team prepares for their October 16 opener against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Perhaps the biggest question is how their center rotation will shake out, especially early in the season.
With DeMarcus Cousins sidelined for a few months with an Achilles injury, the Warriors have three options at center: Kevon Looney, who had a breakout performance last year in his third season, Damian Jones, who is the largest option, and entering his third year, and the exciting Jordan Bell, who is beginning his second campaign.
