Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green link up for offseason workout

Butler and Green linked up for an offseason Warriors workout with development coach Doran David, joined by Curry. Butler’s arrival last season helped spark a late surge with a 23-7 stretch and a defensive turnaround alongside Green. The Warriors’ pace and defense look to hinge on this trio as they push for another postseason run.

With Green and Butler anchoring the defense and Curry providing offense, San Francisco’s defense vaulted from ninth to first in defensive rating during Butler’s stint, finishing at 111.0. Fantasy managers should monitor how this trio’s chemistry translates to minutes, usage, and defensive stats as the team primes for a championship-contending season.

Expect Butler’s versatility, Green’s glue-play, and Curry’s gravity to shape lineup decisions and fantasy projections, especially in games emphasizing pace, switching, and matchup-specific defenses.

With Butler and Green sharing the floor, should fantasy managers prioritize Butler’s defensive stats or his scoring and playmaking more? Explain.Which lineup sets maximize the trio’s fantasy upside in standard leagues?How might rest schedules affect this trio’s fantasy output after the regular season starts?Which opponents would you target to maximize Curry-Butler-Green fantasy upside?
