Cole: I won t let the dream play the No. 5 position too much. I don t want him to always face the tall centers

October 6th, the Warriors defeated the Lakers 111-103.

After the game, when talking about the small lineup used in this game (Curry, Boger, Moody, Butler, Zhu Meng) Kerr said: "This lineup was successful last season, but this does not mean that Draymond will have to play the fifth position for a long time, because we have three centers on the bench tonight. If we make good lineup arrangements at the beginning, Draymond will not have to always face those tall centers during the game. I am confident that we can use this lineup well, whether it is the starter or the substitute, because it was too successful last season, and you can see the reason."

In this game, Zhu Meng only played 14 minutes and 29 seconds in the first half, made 1 of 6 shots (0 of 2 three-pointers), scored 2 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists, had 3 turnovers, plus and minus value +3.
