It will require a versatile, switchable lineup on defense, and a skilled two-way big like Karl-Anthony Towns (assuming he improves on defense in his 3rd season). The backcourt will need to be composed of rugged defenders (Marcus Smart, Roberson type players) that can rough up Curry and Thompson and get them off their games. An elite wing is a requirement for contenders, and then the frontcourt will need to outmuscle the Warriors down low.
