Former Golden State Warriors head coach gives his take on current roster
P.J. Carlesimo, a former Warriors head coach, recently gave his thoughts on Golden State's roster and their chances next season.
Former Golden State Warriors head coach P.J. Carlesimo believes the current team, despite a lack of star signings this offseason, still has potential to be competitive this season. Carlesimo, who coached the Warriors for three seasons from 1997 to 2000, stated that if the team is healthy, they are currently good and just need one more player to solidify their roster.
He anticipates that Mike Dunleavy Jr. will find a way to improve the team by mid-season. Carlesimo also commented on the veteran status of Draymond Green and Jimmy Butler, stating that while Draymond might not have lost anything, Jimmy is still among the best players in the league. He believes that Golden State, with a healthy roster and returning players Jimmy Butler III and Moses Moody, could be more competitive than many people anticipate, particularly if Kristaps Porzingis can return to form.
Last season, the Warriors finished 10th in the Western Conference but lost to the Phoenix Suns in the NBA Play-In Tournament. For more NBA updates, readers can follow the BasketBaltes podcast.
