Kerr benched Wiggins and started Podziemski for eight consecutive games last month. The coach shuffled the lineup once more ahead of Saturday’s home game against the Dallas Mavericks, sending Podziemski back to the bench for Paul. Looney, who had started 180 games since the beginning of the 2021-22 season, was replaced by Jackson-Davis. “It’s not common to see young guys playing for the Warriors,” Podziemski said. “Teams are used to guarding our play style, meaning Steph and Klay, and then I feel like the elements that me, JK, Trayce and Moses bring, it’s something different. Other teams are like, ‘OK, wait — now they have this and that.’” -via ESPN / January 4, 2024
