3 Golden State Warriors poised for long-term success in the Bay Area

The Warriors are 6-6, and while Stephen Curry has carried them, it’s partially been on the back of up-and-coming stars that have found a home in the Bay.

After a discouraging 0-2 start to the season, the Golden State Warriors looked to eventually redeem themselves, and they’ve done just that.

Taking down the Portland Trail Blazers behind 62 from Stephen Curry and the Los Angeles Clippers, the Warriors have made it known that they’re at the very least a capable roster with a two-time MVP that is still playing at an elite level.

While Curry has stepped up this season, it’s been the other players that have allowed this team to take their game to the next level. They have had disappointing losses aside from their first two to the Bucks and Nets, but they’ve played well and typically win games they should.

This offseason was a hectic one, especially given the times and the impact the Covid-19 protocols have on the franchise. They were able to add Kent Bazemore and Kelly Oubre Jr. while being able to watch Andrew Wiggins turn into a much more valuable asset as well.

That said, despite the impact those three have had, it’s a few others that should give this fanbase long-term hope in the team’s success. Let’s dive into who they are.
