Warriors Outlook
While there is a lot to be excited about despite losing Klay Thompson for the season, the margin for error is thin. The Warriors have a difficult conference, and without their second-best player, it can only get more difficult.
Steph and Draymond need to not only get back to All-Star level play, they also need to get the other players to raise their level of play. It’s going to be on them this season.
Andrew Wiggins and Kelly Oubre Jr. need to prove they can be effective two-way players.
They need Kevin Looney to finally stay healthy. James Wiseman to have an immediate impact on both ends of the floor. They also need offseason-addition Kent Bazemore to be their new x-factor, be Mr. Intangible.
If all these things happen and along with the blessing of good health, the Warriors could make some noise in the West.
