For the past four games, excluding last night’s game, there was a different center in the lineup than Zaza Pachulia. One game Anderson Varejao would start. Another game it would be Kevon Looney or it would be JaVale McGee.
Now the question becomes: who should start at center for the Warriors?
Let’s compare McGee and Pachulia for this piece because McGee has got most of the starts in place of Pachulia.
With Pachulia out, the Warriors missed that hard-nosed toughness inside and the energy that he brings. They also missed his screening that would get shooters open.
