He's going to need to play defense at a high level all season long if this team is going to even have a shot at the playoffs. Offense will stay inconsistent with the lack of shooting even if Steph is Steph. 

Feel like it’s been awhile since we’ve seen Draymond with that energy on D. Can he keep it up nightly in this condensed schedule at his age?

Yeah even if he never gets the 3 ball down he just needs to develop some kind of mid/short range shot to mix up his arsenal aside from bulldozing his way to the basket.
 

But yeah we haven’t really seen point forward Zion that was hyped up at Duke yet

Doesn’t even need that, would hope he does but he could stay a pure rim assaulter and average 25 PPG unless teams go all out in gameplanning to stop him. Key is the passing. Has to make more, and better, passes out of the double, and to the right guy, and ideally before it even comes. More he plays more he’ll get a feel for that I think. 

 

Will need some semblance of a jumper, and more importantly a better FT rate, if he wants to be an elite offensive player.

He's going to have to. Has had a long break and looks to be in great shape.

Dray just makes such a huge difference. His IQ is on another level and that helps everyone else out. Wiseman barely has any playing experience and he's going to get killed defensively on some or even most nights but if Dray can play DPOY level defense? Then you can live with those growing pains for Wiseman.

Draymond was fantastic last night. If he can give that effort 75% percent of the time then the Warriors can be a playoff team. Well Oubre has been awful shooting his defense has been a bright spot. Him and Dray need to lead the way on that side of the ball

Draymond's playmaking/passing will also allow Curry to play off ball more as we saw last night with Green's 8 assists. While he was out you guys were trying to play Curry off ball with Wiggins/Oubre on ball and neither of those guys are playmakers. Which is why it is still weird to me that you guys traded away Russell for Wiggins when Russell is clearly a better shooter/playmaker than Wiggins.

Russell didn't fit well and it would have been tough when Klay returned. But that trade was to get the TWolves 2021 pick.

Russell's ability to shoot and create fit better next to Curry than Wiggins/Oubre's inability too but I get what you mean.

Oubre is irrelevant in all of this. 

The Warriors didn't make the move because they thought Wiggins was some great player or anything. They liked his size more than Russell and thought he could turn into a respectable defender and then they wanted the 2021 1st rounder from TWolves which should be a very high pick.
