OAKLAND – Warriors fans hoping to see expanded minutes and tangible blossoming from the team’s stable of athletic young big men could be in for a bit of disappointment this season.
It’s not that they haven’t made progress. It’s just that the odds are pretty dauntingly stacked against the kids. With a six-pack of centers, which doesn’t even include the Draymond Green chaser, finding time for the aspiring hopefuls – namely Damian Jones, Kevon Looney and rookie Jordan Bell — not only will be exceedingly difficult for coach Steve Kerr but probably not very prudent.
You’ve got the veteran returnees — Zaza Pachulia, JaVale McGee and David West — in front of them.
