The Golden State Warriors have had a solid 5-4 start. With that, some of their most impactful players have shown potential to win end-of-the-year awards.

It’s been an interesting start to the season for the Golden State Warriors. They were blown out in their first two games of the season, but we need to remember that those were without three-time All-Star Draymond Green.

Green has since returned, and this team has managed to rally around him. Along with Green’s return, the Warriors have had a greater focus on getting Stephen Curry involved. He’s been going off, including a career-high 62 points against the Blazers.

The Warriors have won five of their last seven, and they’ve shown with wins over the Clippers and Blazers that they can defeat playoff-caliber teams. That’s a step in the right direction for a team that looked awful through their first two games.

While these players won’t say they play for individual accolades, it’s always nice to be recognized as the best in a specific area. The Warriors have many players that could be up for end-of-the-year awards that include MVP, DPOY and several others.

That said, after seeing their revitalized, let’s dive into three players that could hear their name called at the end of the season.
