Top 10 Golden State Warriors
The Warriors have a history of players with great, and diverse talents.
In picking a top 10 list of NBA teams, the Warriors pose one of the biggest challenges. I’m an old guy, but even I didn’t see much or any of some great Warriors players dating back to their days in Philadelphia. I’ve usually at least seen the guys I pick on TV, that isn’t always the case here. In addition, to make this list a player needed to play for the Warriors at least three seasons. Look for Kevin Durant to be on this list in a couple years With those disclaimers, here we go.
10: Jeff Mullins The Warriors have had a number of two guards who were athletic and could score, but Mullins gets the call by virtue of his balanced game. He was also a member of the 1975 Warriors championship team, though his role was limited. For about a 6 year stretch from the late 60’s to the mid 70’s Jeff was good for a line of about 20–5–5. Jeff shot 46% from the field and 81% from the line. That was good enough to sneak in on this list.
9: Klay Thompson One half of the Splash Brothers, Klay is a tremendous long range shooter. His career average points per gain with the Warriors is 19.1 and the needle is pointing up. He shoots about 45% from the field, which includes nearly 42% from behind the arc. Klay works well without the ball so the Warriors offense maximizes his skills. Of course…
