Can the Warriors Defy the Odds and Thrive Without Steph Curry?
The Wolves are well-equipped to deal with Butler if Curry isn’t on the floor. They have Jaden McDaniels, an elite defender who was expected to spend a lot of time chasing Curry around ball screens, available to bother Butler on-ball and be a monster helper when not. Most of their other rotation players are big and strong enough to withstand being overwhelmed by Butler’s physicality as well.
But the Warriors have no choice but to turn some possessions over to Butler, and he’s shown he can be the No. 1 option in the playoffs while with the Miami Heat. He’s an underrated isolation player because of two factors: free throws and turnovers.
