It’s been a hectic yet productive offseason for the Golden State Warriors.
The Warriors lost a few fan-favorite players in free agency. With Gary Payton II headed to Portland and Otto Porter Jr. joining Toronto, fans will not get to cheer on a few names they’ve grown fond of over the past season.
The Warriors are putting together another championship-contending roster, but they’ll need a few breakout performances to repeat as champs.
Those two leaving will open up minutes and opportunities for others.
The Dubs did their best to replace their skill sets with the signing of former Bucks first-round pick and NBA Champion Donte DiVincenzo. They’re also expected to sign JaMychal Green. Both will play similar roles but to potentially a lesser extent.
On top of adding those two, Golden State drafted forward Patrick Baldwin Jr. who was a superstar in high school before battling injuries in his lone season at Milwaukee. PBJ isn’t expected to have an immediate role.
That said, the Warriors are expecting another season at the top of the West, but they’ll need some help. Let’s dive into three players that could have a breakout season next year.
