Andre Iguodala (knee) will probably continue to start at small forward for the Warriors this season, although new coach Steve Kerr will also consider Harrison Barnes and Draymond Green for the position as well, the San Jose Mercury News reports.

Iguodala (knee) will probably continue to start at small forward for the Warriors this season, although new coach Steve Kerr will also consider Harrison Barnes and Draymond Green for the position as well, the San Jose Mercury News reports.

Analysis:

Iguodala started all 63 games he played during his debut campaign with the Warriors last season. However, given Golden State's other scoring options, Iguodala posted just 9.3 points per game, his lowest output since his rookie season. Nonetheless, the veteran's defense and versatility - evidenced by averages of 4.7 rebounds, 4.2 assists, and 1.5 steals - make him a great fit in the Warriors' starting five. While coach Kerr expects to keep Iguodala in the lineup at small forward, he will also conduct his due diligence in experimenting with Barnes and Green during training camp and the preseason.
