Golden State Warriors’ young core has immense potential
We are talking about young cores, right? The potential for Golden State’s group of youngins to dominate the league in the near future has to be worth something.
The Warriors’ young core has not established themselves yet. This is the main reason they were excluded from the top 10 and it is fair enough.
But you can not deny how much potential is brewing under the surface.
We have seen what Jordan Poole is capable of. He is the most proven of the bunch. While I don’t think Poole has any more leaps in development under his sleeve, he is likely to be a reliable microwave scorer for years to come.
As for Jonathan Kuminga, James Wiseman and Moses Moody, All-Star futures are still on the table. Kuminga is ahead of the pack but the likelihood of Moody or Wiseman taking the next step is not unthinkable.
On the next slide, I’ll dive deeper into how each member of the young core can push the Warriors’ to new heights by reaching their full potential.
