Golden State Warriors: 3 takeaways from 2018-19 season opener

1. Solid production from the center position

With DeMarcus Cousins likely shelved for the next few months, the Warriors will have to rely on a carousel of bigs in order to fill the position, with certain youngsters likely to get their chance to impress the higher-ups in the hopes it can lead to more minutes.

On this night, the rotation worked, as the duo of Kevon Looney and Damian Jones played about as well as one could ask, combining to score 22 points to go along with 13 rebounds and five blocked shots.

Steven Adams is no scrub to deal with, and for these two young centers to control the paint as they did in the form of a 41-30 rebounding advantage against one of the better rebounding teams in the league is a great sign for Steve Kerr moving forward as he attempts to find the right lineup combinations.

Its very unlikely Boogie remains in the Bay past this season. If either one of these two can build on this performance and parlay it into consistent production, the Warriors may not even care where the four-time All-Star decides to go next summer.
