Experts predict Chris Paul has a trophy during his "debut" season with the Golden State Warriors, but this trophy is strange...

Before Chris Paul's first season with the Golden State Warriors, he had a lot of expectations. The 38-year-old defender arrives in the Gulf this summer as part of Jordan Poole's swap to the Washington Wizards.

Until now, the real role of CP3 is still a question mark. However, ESPN does not hesitate to predict that this player will have an individual title in his first season at Chase Center.

However, experts believe that it is the title of the best substitute player of the year. In previous seasons, this was unthinkable.

"Our experts believe that the Golden State Warriors got the gold when they signed Chris Paul. The team that already has great squad depth will have another top defender in league history," ESPN predicts.

"The 12-time All-Star is entering his 19th season and although Paul has never come on as a substitute, his contributions as sixth man could strengthen his muscle. Warriors Championship."

Paul has made it clear that his goal is to help the Warriors win every game and hopefully win their first NBA championship. As for whether it is necessary to hit the main or not, the 38-year-old player did not answer.

Since being picked in the fourth round of the 2005 NBA Draft, Paul has featured in the starting lineup for all 1,363 career games. However, things may be different when he arrives at the team that has won 4 NBA titles in the past 8 years.

In the outer row, Steph Curry's position is irreplaceable, while the presence of Chris Paul by his side will make the Warriors who are not so tall now have to make more physical sacrifices. Entering the field from the bench would probably be the most logical choice for CP3 at the moment.

As a player on the NBA 75 lineup, along with the possibility of a future Hall of Fame, it is not difficult to understand if Paul receives a huge number of votes in the race to the title of Sixth Man of the Year.
