In less than a month, the Golden State Warriors’ 2016-17 campaign will tip off. When that time comes, what will their 15-man roster and depth chart look like?
Coming off their second straight NBA Finals appearance, the Golden State Warriors are understandably under a lot of pressure to make it three in a row in 2016-17. The offseason addition of Kevin Durant only elevated the expectations.
Still, based on the look of this roster, it’s not at all out of the question.
The starting lineup is as great as ever, with three starters returning and a former MVP entering the mix. The depth was depleted a bit during 2016 free agency, but the Warriors have never had trouble reloading with young prospects.
That should continue to be the case moving forward, assuming they can find some stability at center.
So what will the roster look like when the season opener rolls around on October 25? No one outside of the organization knows, but we can surely speculate as the Warriors’ slate of preseason games moves along. It’s not like there’s room for too many surprises at this point.
