Golden State Warriors: Ranking the 5 most important players
By Tony Pesta
The Golden State Warriors will need an all-around team effort this season in order to compete.
Strength in numbers. This has been the Golden State Warriors slogan for a reason. Though they have stacked the deck in terms of talent in recent years, it will truly take a team effort to be competitive this season.
The Dubs front office has managed to recover from a brutal offseason. Numerous players left the team, including the superstar Kevin Durant and former Finals MVP Andre Iguodala. Other role players such as Shaun Livingston, DeMarcus Cousins and Quinn Cook made their departures as well.
This left the Warriors with Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and an injured Klay Thompson to carry the franchise. A last-second move to acquire D’Angelo Russell in the chaos of KD’s decision kept the Warriors in title contention.
With the season quickly approaching, it’s time to make sense of the drastic changes the Dubs roster has undergone. Let’s rank the five most important players on the team.
