The Golden State Warriors have depth in droves. While top teams like the Houston Rockets are playing eight-man rotations, and top teams like the Oklahoma City Thunder are giving sizable minutes to players like Raymond Felton, the Warriors are struggling to get court time for solid contributors like Nick Young and JaVale McGee.
Golden State doesn’t just have numerous veterans who would be starting or earning 25+ minutes on most teams. They also have a host of young athletes who are forcing Steve Kerr’s hand, earning minutes that were earmarked for older players.
