I believe Wiggins should come off of the bench. The goal here is to develop Deni and eventually have him start about midway through the season. Wiggins would have a better opportunity to get more shots off. I don’t think he’ll be a good off ball player. So, the bench

role makes the most sense for him. Steph and Klay need a playmaker on the wings that can play OFF BALL which Deni is great at. Desmond Bane could fit that role too.

EXPECTATIONS

I believe Klay will be fine. He isn’t too reliant on athleticism. I think Steph will recover fine and average about 25-28 PPG and Klay about 18-22. Steph will be an all star, not sure about Klay. But both will be fine.

Draymond is a wild card for me. He could be great or flop completely. I’d say he will be in the middle. He won’t be as good as 2015-18, but will do better than 2019-2020. It depends on how he manages his body in the regular season. In the playoffs I’m sure he’ll step it up.

I think Deni will average about 9-12 PPG with hopefully around 5-6 assists. I expect Wiggins to start out the season in the starting lineup, but the hope is he starts for Wiggins about midway through the year.

I think Wiggins will average about 15-18 points on OK shooting. His defense will be below average. I don’t expect anything special from him at all. Like stated earlier, I’m hoping he is our 6th man eventually.

I think guys like Dunn/MCW (TYP) Gay (he’s proven he can play his role in SA) Looney, and Dotson will all be great complimentary options that will know their role, so no explanation is needed. I truly believe Bane can be a rotational piece come playoff time.

Eric Paschall is a wildcard for me. I’m not quite sure where he fits in. He could maybe play small ball 5. I expect about 7-10 PPG for him, but it could be higher or lower, he’s that much of a wildcard.

If everything goes right, GS could have the deepest bench in the league.

With all of this in mind, I believe Golden State will win about 53 games. They will be a top 6 seed in the west at least. I expect them to be 4th or 5th, most likely 5th.

PLAYOFF EXPECTATIONS:

The Warriors probably won’t have HC advantage. I think GS can beat Houston (assuming nothing crazy happens), MAYBE Dallas, and Utah. However I do not think they would beat the Lakers, Clippers, or nuggets. The series may go to 7, but ultimately

I think GS would lose. Do I think they will make it out of the first round? I hate to say it, but no. I don’t trust Wiggins in the playoffs. I also really like the Clippers, nuggets, or lakers making it out of the west next season. The clippers have a deep team, and I will...

never doubt Kawhi and next year I think PG will be hungry for blood. The Lakers have AD and LeBron, and I don’t think they will be stopped at all. Yes, Steph won’t be stopped, but it’s LeBron James and AD we are talking about here. They could also potentially make some...

important moves in the offseason to boost their team even more. I think the nuggets will be even better next year with another year of MPJ. They have lots of options, and I believe Murray and jokic will go off again. I know you are probably saying,

“Oh well in 2016 they showed they can do it.” Well I think we ALL know this team isn’t as good as 2016. I think this season will be a success though. They won’t do bad in the playoffs, they will just be outmatches slightly. In the 2021 offseason, MAJOR things could happen

Extras:

You may have noticed I didn’t mention Giannis once. That’s because he’s not demanding a trade. The bucks wouldn’t trade him unless he ASKED. You don’t trade those caliber of players unless they demand one. Also he’s not coming to GS in FA.

Danilo Gallinari is a rumor I am hearing about. I don’t think he’s going to golden state. If he does, instead of rudy gay find a guard with the TPE like Ross or someone else. But I haven’t pot thought into this because I don’t think it’s happening.

Golden State should keep the 2021 pick. I think it will be top 10. You may be saying they should trade it for a star and go all in. But I disagree. Teams like the Celtics held onto their picks while also being contenders and it’s looking good for them. GS can do the same.

Zhaire Williams and Terrence Clarke are two guys I like. Both are pretty raw prospects right now but I believe they can turn into stars if they are developed properly. Both are freakish athletes, and I believe have potential to be solid shooters and defenders.

We don’t know a lot about these prospects yet. But having Clarke/or Williams along with Deni is a great core for the future and both can have an impact right away.

Finally, I want to thank all of my followers for making this possible. I never thought I’d grow this quickly and my opinions would be heard. It’s amazing that I can talk basketball with y’all because none of my IRL friends watch the NBA. You guys are the best

If you could RT this thread and share it with your followers I’d really appreciate it I spent over two weeks working on this more threads coming soon, mock draft will be posted on draft night. At 2k followers I also got something special
