LAIE, Hawaii – Warriors training camp on the BYU-Hawaii campus concluded Friday in front of nearly 500 students and Hawaiin kids, as well as active military members, watching the end of a full-court scrimmage where players were divided into three groups.

Here are five takeaways from the fourth and final day of training camp in Hawaii, ahead of their preseason opener against the Los Angeles Clippers, which featured comments from coach Steve Kerr and center Kevon Looney.

Blue Team, Grey Team, Red Team

Below is who played for each team.

Blue Team: Steph Curry, Brandin Podziemski, Buddy Hield, Jonathan Kuminga and Draymond Green.

Grey Team: De’Anthony Melton, Gary Payton II, Moses Moody, Kyle Anderson and Looney, as well as Kevin Knox.

Red Team: Pat Spencer, Lindy Waters III, Gui Santos, Trayce Jackson-Davis and Quinten Post, as well as Reece Beekman.

Hinting At Preseason Starters?

No.

At least not according to Kerr. It was easy to assume the Blue Team could be who Kerr first trots out Saturday against the Clippers. However, Kerr told reporters not to look too far into anything, as he continues to be mum on his starting five.

“In fact, it’s safe to assume that will not be the starting lineup,” Kerr said.

Andrew Wiggins, who is expected to be the Warriors’ starting small forward, was unable to practice for the fourth straight day and will not play Saturday. The Warriors will re-evaluate Wiggins once they return back to San Francisco.

What Stood Out

The first sequence that was seen during Golden State’s scrimmage once media members and others were let in was Podziemski taking a hard shot to the face as the left-hander attempted a layup on the right side. Practice stopped very momentarily before Podziemski got back up and connected on his free throws.

Curry only took one shot attempt during the period, missing a 3-pointer that rattled in and out. The chemistry between he and Green still is on full display as the two found each other for multiple impressive passes and cuts to keep the ball moving.
