Marquese Chriss explains main area of focus while playing for Warriors

Despite the report that people within the Warriors organization have "petitioned" general manager Bob Myers to get him on the roster, Marquese Chriss is well aware that he might not open the regular season with the Dubs. "I thank them for trusting me and bringing me into camp and giving me an opportunity to show what I can do," Chriss told reporters Wednesday after practice. "They're in a tough situation with their hard cap. In order for Chriss to be in a Dubs uniform against the Clippers on Opening Night, the Warriors' front office would either need to cut Alfonzo McKinnie (his contract doesn't become fully guaranteed until early January) or trade Omari Spellman or Jacob Evans without acquiring a player in return.
