- Charlie Walter: Chuck says going bigger with Bassey may be the best option on paper, but it costs too much on offense. The team looks better with Gui Santos, and Melton shouldn't miss much of a beat as a starter. at 9:11

Bassey (knee) didn't practice Monday, per Nick Friedell of The Athletic.

In the preseason game against the Lakers, the Warriors looked porous defending Walker Kessler, who was 'eating Bassey for breakfast'. The host says Reeves was the one who really hurt them.

In the preseason game against the Lakers, Walker Kessler did damage when Yaxel or Charles Bassey guarded him. The Warriors were without Draymond and Al Horford that game. The host expects Horford to miss many games anyway, which makes big man a position of need.

- Podcast Matt Kolsky, Locked On Warriors · Opinion ·
A host is okay with Bassey as backup center. He said Horford looks like the center in front of Bassey for now. Bassey rebounds and finishes around the basket but turns it over when he tries to do more on offense.

- Host: waiving Georges Niang or Bassey would not create room. Their partial guarantees would become dead money and save nothing against the apron. at 21:27
- Host: Charles Bassey has been good but has injury concerns of his own. The host doubts the team can rely on 36-year-old Draymond at center all season. at 30:16
