Chris Paul Stats

When asked if he has established a starting lineup for the 2023-24 season, Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said he "hasn't decided yet" and will try "different combinations" during training camp. The question on most fantasy managers' minds since the Warriors acquired guard Chris Paul this offseason is whether or not he will start for his new team, but Kerr was not able to provide much clarity on that inquiry. The 38-year-old floor general has never come off the bench at any point of his career, so there may be a level of pride attached to that status. Paul's Yahoo ADP currently sees him listed as a late sixth-round pick in 12-team leagues, and he should play close to 30 minutes a night no matter the role.

Golden State Warriors guard Chris Paul is expected to step into a starting role for the team once the season rolls around. According to Marc Spears, the veteran floor general is expected to start alongside superstar Stephen Curry. As of right now, the starting lineup sounds like a very small one if the other three are Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins, and Draymond Green. Paul would continue to be a very valuable fantasy asset when it comes to assists, especially with shooters like Curry and Thompson on the wings.

Golden State Warriors point guard Chris Paul will be a starter for the team this season, according to ESPN's Marc J. Spears. "I do expect him to start. And I think it's like five-minute spurts," Spears said on Yahoo Sports' Good Word with Goodwill podcast. "I don't know that they really want his minutes to be high, but I think they're gonna try it. I could be wrong, but that's the gist I'm getting. This isn't an opinion that he's expected to start. It's what I'm hearing. He's never not started in his career." Paul himself has also previously said that he expects to start, and it will be very interesting to see how the dynamics work between him, Stephen Curry, and Klay Thompson.

Golden State Warriors owner Joe Lacob recently discussed the decision to trade for point guard Chris Paul earlier this offseason. "It seemed highly unlikely we would do that", Lacob admitted in regard to trading for Paul. "But the more we thought about it and considered our options, we thought, 'Hey, he's a great player. He's always made other people better.' He hasn't won a championship yet, but maybe he can do that with our group", Lacob explained. It remains to be seen if Paul will start alongside Stephen Curry in Golden State's backcourt this fall, but the 38-year-old floor general still deserves to crack the top 100 in upcoming fantasy drafts.
