Small Forward

1. Kevin Durant
2. Andre Iguodala

Is there any question who will be the starting small forward for the Warriors this season?

Golden State didn’t spend a ton of money this offseason to not make Kevin Durant the co-star of this squad. While Curry may still be the top dog on this team, Durant is No. 1a and will be given every opportunity to wreak havoc this season.

Behind him will be Andre Iguodala, arguably one of the NBA’s best sixth men. He’s an excellent veteran presence in the second unit, bringing explosive scoring and plus defense to the court on a nightly basis.

Even with Durant ahead of him on the depth chart, Iguodala will play a big part in the Warriors’ attempt to make the NBA Finals for a third straight year.

With two stars at the position, I don’t see much need for them to worry about depth. Instead, they’ll stick with two small forwards considering they have some versaility at other positions.

Who didn’t make the cut: Elgin Cook, Scott Wood
