Steph Curry was questioned during the interview about Paul’s recent roster addition and what he would offer to the rotation.
“So CP has a very defined skill set in what he’s done for his whole career, which is why he’s one of the greatest point guards to play. And I think the way he sees the game will fit anywhere. He’s elevated teams that he’s been on his entire career, so I expect the same with us, knowing that we’re trying to get back to the mountain top, and how it’ll look, we’ll see.”

There have been concerns about how the ball-dominant guard would fit ever since the Warriors dealt Jordan Poole to the Washington Wizards to acquire Paul. With an emphasis on off-ball movement and aggressive cutting, Steve Kerr has the Warriors playing a selfless brand of basketball.
In contrast, Paul is renowned for his capacity to dismantle half-court defenses and direct the offence via the pick-and-roll.
While Curry is on the bench, the Warriors need a playmaking guard to keep the second unit active. Now, the Warriors boast two of their generation’s top point guards. With the addition of Cory Joseph, Golden State now possesses one of the NBA‘s most robust guard rotations.
Curry has been aware of Paul’s contributions since he saw them. Paul knows he will play a minor role when he joins Golden State at 38. If the two guards can get along, Paul can improve the Warriors the same way he has with every club he has played on thus far.
