“I do have a lot of faith in Trayce,” Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said. “I think he can get a lot better. I think the guy he played against in Sacramento, Sabonis, is somebody he should emulate. Just the aggressiveness, the ability to score around the basket, the left-handed, the DHO game, the ability to handle the ball. Trayce has a lot of those attributes. So I’m excited about his potential and what he can become, but too early to decide who is going to start and what, whether that combination will be the one we go to.”
