The Golden State Warriors are a team that many people are going to be keeping an eye on this season. Many are interested to see how Chris Paul<\/a> acclimates himself to the team after being acquired as part of the deal that sent Jordan Poole<\/a> and a first-round pick to the Washington Wizards.<\/p>\n

Paul has been a starter for every game in his NBA career in the regular season and postseason. But, head coach Steve Kerr<\/a> did not guarantee that will be the case in Golden State, warning that some adjustments may need to be made.<\/p>\n

Kerr stressed that everyone is going to need to buy in for things to work<\/a>, no matter what is being asked of them. That could be a major adjustment for Paul, but he will fill a valuable role whether it is in the starting five or coming off the bench as a secondary ball-handler to take pressure off of Stephen Curry<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But, the two veterans will be sharing the court together at points. In those scenarios, Kerr has revealed a major change in how Klay Thompson<\/a> will be deployed. Thompson, who has been a shooting guard his entire career, will be defending power forwards at points this season alongside Curry, Paul, Andrew Wiggins<\/a> and Kevon Looney<\/a>.<\/p>\n
