I think it is likely Dray and Klay not producing like normal and Kerr hasn't doled out their minutes to the young bucks yet.
edit - oof - yeah Klay's TS is at 46.3% right now... could be coaches want him to shoot himself into rhythm, much like how the Nuggets are letting Joker defer to let Murray+MPJ get shots up... there will be some weird early-season losses if that's the case. We'll see if it pays off for them.

I mentioned it earlier but I don't know what their move is besides hoping the young kids improve defensively. (in Poole/Wiseman's case I'm not sure it's very realistic).

Appreciate the response, guys.
I do expect they will improve (much moreso than the Lakers and Nets), but on the other hand, Klay and Draymond have to fall off at some point. I think it's safe to say that Klay is off his peak, but even last year he was a darn good player.
It'll be an interesting storyline as it's maybe the only 'old guard' rosters that seems to have a realistic shot this year.
