Bleacher Report released their list of the NBA’s best young cores and the Golden State Warriors did not make the top 10.
The criteria for this list were simple. All players under the age of 25 are included. This gives Golden State a core of Jordan Poole, Jonathan Kuminga, James Wiseman, Moses Moody and Patrick Baldwin.
It still was not enough. The disrespect is real.
The Golden State Warriors did not make the cut in Bleacher Report’s top-10 list of the best NBA young cores. Here is why that is wrong.
Listed as an honorable mention, the Dubs were not fully omitted from the list but they were excluded from being one of the 10 best young cores in the league. A mark they arguably reach with ease.
Ahead of them? The Orlando Magic, Houston Rockets, Detroit Pistons, Toronto Raptors, Oklahoma City Thunder, Atlanta Hawks, Boston Celtics, Cleveland Cavaliers, New Orleans Pelicans and Memphis Grizzlies, in that order.
