Warriors will be reimbursed! The substitute was ordered to start with 10+3, and Kerr was relieved

The Warriors have bad news ahead of today's game against the Hawks, which is that Melton, one of their key additions this year, will undergo anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery and miss the rest of the season.

Melton has been outstanding in the games so far, and we can see from him that he is a player who can both defend and attack, and also has some offensive ability on the ball. Kerr also trusted him very much and put him in the starting lineup. If he hadn't suffered an injury, he should have been a starter for the Warriors. But he's suffering an injury right now and Kerr has to find a replacement. As it stands, Kerr seems to have found a replacement for Melton, who also joined the Warriors this offseason.

Why didn't Kerr include Hield in the starting lineup? In fact, it is very understandable, that is because Hield's defensive ability is too poor, and Curry himself is not a good defensive player, if Hield is also put into the starting backcourt, the Warriors cannot stabilize the quality of their backcourt defense. Waters looks like a more defensive player, and his style of play is more composed, and he also scored 10 points and three rebounds in today's game against the Hawks, and also hit two three-pointers.

It can be clearly felt that Waters is not playing nonsense on the court, and he has a good basketball IQ. In addition, Kerr has completely lost trust in Podzemski this season, and his poor three-point shooting has made Kerr afraid to let him start at all. So Waters is also the most suitable starting point for the Warriors, and his three-point ability is very strong. The next thing the Warriors need to do is to build more confidence in Waters, because Waters is not a much-used player in his career after all, and he may not be confident when the Warriors are suddenly reused by Kerr. That's where Kerr needs to encourage him and make him play more confidently.

The good news for the Warriors is that they've rotated enough this season, so Melton's injury won't hit them too hard. Even with Melton's injury, the Warriors still used a 12-man rotation for this game. This is still an unacceptable rotation for the head coach of other teams. So the Warriors have plenty of capital this season, and they can also accept some injuries to players in the regular season. The most important thing is how these 12 people form a good tacit understanding, which is the key to the success of the Warriors this year, I don't know what the fans think?
