Golden State Warriors are looking at Anthony Edwards for the upcoming NBA [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/] Draft. The San Francisco Chronicle reported [https://www.sfchronicle.com/warriors/article/Who-are-the-Warriors-considering-for-their-top-5-15172155.php] that contrary to popular belief, the Warriors will not be going for the likes of LaMelo Ball or James Wiseman if they have their first overall pick. They are instead looking to pick Georgia Bulldogs’ 18-year-old shooter Anthony Edwards. Edwards is expected to come into the 2020 NBA draft after having won the SEC freshman of the year award. LAMELO BALL WOULD BE SURPLUS TO THE GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS However, many believe that that though LaMelo Ball is the biggest prospect in the draft, he might not be perfect for the Warriors. The team has Stephen Curry [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/stephen-curry/] at the guard position and Ball will be surplus to their needs if he joins them. Not long ago, the Warriors had an All-Star, D’Angelo Russell, in their team who could serve as an example of why Ball might not fit with the Dubs. The Warriors, who were always looking at Russell as a trade asset, traded him to Minnesota Timberwolves a few months back. The possibility of welcoming an exciting prospect to their team is certainly alluring for the Warriors. Before the league’s suspension, the team was at the bottom of the Western Conference. Also, they had the worst record in the NBA. 

Golden State Warriors are looking to pick Anthony Edwards on contrary to many
beliefs if they get the first draft pick in the 2020 NBA draft

<h2 style="text-align: center">Golden State Warriors</h2>
<h2>History</h2>
The Golden State Warriors was founded in 1946 as the Philadelphia Warriors by then-owner Peter A. Tyrrell. The Warriors were one of the founding members of the Basketball Association of America and won the inaugural championship during the 1946-47 season. The team then again clinched the title in the 1955-56 season.

In 1962, new majority owner Franklin Mieuli relocated the Warriors to the San Francisco Bay Area, and the team was renamed the San Francisco Warriors. After another ownership change, the team started playing most of its home games in Oakland. Before the start of the 1971-72 season, the team adopted the name Golden State Warriors.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-255974 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200423163445/nba_goldenstatewarriors.jpg" alt="Golden State Warriors" width="600" height="319" />
<h2>Who is the owner of the Golden State Warriors?</h2>
The current majority owner of the Warriors is Joseph Steven Lacob, who is a businessman. Interestingly, he initially became a minority owner of the Boston Celtics in 2006. Then, in 2010, Lacob with minority owner Peter Guber bought the Warriors for $450 million from Chris Cohan. This required Lacob to sell his share of the Celtics. Lacob is not just an owner - he is a massive fan. Notably, he had been a Warriors' season ticket holder for over a decade before he purchased the team.

Lacob reportedly has an estimated net worth of $4 billion. He came from quite humble beginnings and couldn't afford college because of his family's financial constraints. So, he had to take a year off and work for the money for college. Lacob became a serial entrepreneur and reportedly invested in over 50 start-ups, of which around 30 were quite successful. His biggest financial success was when he was a partner in Kleiner Parkins. He then started his own business in 1987 after leaving Kleiner Parkins.
<h2>Who is the General Manager of the Golden State Warriors?</h2>
The Warriors are without a General Manager for the time being after Bob Myers stepped down from the role of President and GM in May 2023. Myers has been an integral part of the Warriors during his 12 years in the management. He played a huge role in the team's success in recent years, overseeing the onboarding of some of the most important players - Draymond Green, Kevin Durant and Andrew Wiggins, among others. He was also instrumental in the extension of superstars Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson.
<h2>Team sponsors</h2>
The Golden State Warriors signed a three-year $20 million-per-year jersey sponsorship deal with Rakuten in 2017. This deal became the biggest jersey sponsorship deal in the NBA at the time. After renewing the contract in 2021, the Warriors then extended the deal recently in 2022, reportedly for $40 million annually. Some of the other major sponsors of the Dubs are Verizon, Clorox, Betway, Biofreeze, DoorDash and Fanatics.

<h2>Achievements and wins</h2>
The Golden State Warriors are the third most successful team in the NBA with 7 championships. The Dubs are behind the Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers who have 17 titles each. The Dubs surpassed the Chicago Bulls with 6 titles after clinching their 7th ring in 2020. Even though they are far off from the Celtics and the Lakers, the Warriors were the first-ever champions. They won the title in the inaugural BAA season in 1946-47 led by basketball legend Joe Fulks. The NBA considers this an official title since the Warriors were one of the founding members of the BAA which then evolved into the NBA in 1948.

After a dry spell, the Warriors were again crowned champions of the 1955-56 season. This was followed by almost two decades of disappointment without a ring. Finally, the Dubs won the title in 1974-75 with the help of legends Rick Barry and Jamaal Wilkes.

After winning the division title in 1976, the Dubs had a lengthy drought of around four decades. They performed poorly for the most part of the 40 years and had just glimpses of hope here and there. Finally, things changed for the better in the early 2010s. In the 2009 NBA draft, the Warriors selected Stephen Curry as the 7th overall pick. Very few imagined that he would be one of the key factors behind the success of the team in coming future.

After minor setbacks and some injuries, Curry hit the ground running. The front office also made some smart moves that made the team stronger. Also, the addition of NBA legend Steve Kerr as the head coach was a huge step in the right direction. Curry and Klay Thompson became one of the best duos in the league. Draymond Green soon became one of the best defenders too. Furthermore, Green's versatility allowed Kerr to use smaller lineups which helped the team massively. The Warriors built a great team with role players like Andre Iguodala, Shaun Livingston and Harrison Barnes.

With the ascension of Curry as the back-to-back MVP, the Warriors won the title in 2015. After a disappointing finish in 2016, the team acquired superstar Kevin Durant. This further strengthened the team leading to two straight titles in 2017 and 2018. But the Dubs missed the opportunity to win three straight after losing to the Toronto Raptors in the 2019 Finals. Curry and the Warriors went on to beat all odds when they clinched the ring in 2022 against the Boston Celtics.
<h2>Key players and coaches</h2>
The Warriors have been fortunate to have had some incredible basketball stars and coaches on their team over the years. They have had Hall of Fame head coaches like Don Nelson, George Karl, Alex Hannum and Steve Kerr. The Dubs have retired the jerseys of legends Al Attles (#16), Tom Meschery (#14), Wilt Chamberlain (#13), Nate Thurmond (#42), Rick Barry (#24) and Chris Mullin (#17) so far.

Notably, All-Time Great Chamberlain made multiple records during his time with the Warriors. He was considered the greatest Warrior of all time by many until the arrival of Stephen Curry.

Now, Curry is a franchise leader in a variety of different categories and has also led the team to four championships. The Warriors are expected to retire the jerseys of current stars Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green and Andre Iguodala in the future for their role in their title runs.
<h2>Rivalry with Cleveland Cavaliers</h2>
The rivalry between the Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers is fairly new, starting when they clashed in four straight Finals from 2015 to 2018. Things started to heat up when the teams first faced each other in the 2015 NBA Finals. The Cavaliers led by LeBron James were no match for the Warriors with Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green and Andre Iguodala. The Dubs clinched the title 4-2 and Iguodala won the Finals MVP for his all-round performance.

The next year, the Warriors set a new regular season win record with 73 wins and 9 losses. They broke the previous record of 72-10 set by the iconic Chicago Bulls team. So the pressure began mounting on the Warriors to win the title. In the Finals, the Dubs once again met familiar foes, the Cavaliers. The Warriors had a quick start and led the series 3-1.

Interestingly, no team had ever won the title after trailing 3-1 in the Finals. But James, Kyrie Irving and their team did not quit. They took it one game at a time and started winning. This put immense pressure on the Warriors. The rivalry between the two reached an all-time high by game-7 in which the Cavs ultimately prevailed and lifted the trophy.

After the disappointing loss, the Warriors added more firepower to the lineup with superstar Kevin Durant. The team seemed unstoppable throughout the season and playoffs and again made the Finals. The Dubs wanted revenge and did just that by clinching the title 4-1 against the Cavs in 2017. The following year, the Warriors and Cavs faced off once again on the ultimate stage. This time, the Cavs had no answer as the Warriors swept them easily to win their second straight ring.
<h2>Warriors nicknamed ?Dubs?</h2>
The Warriors are nicknamed the Dubs. According to reports, fans shortened the Warriors to ?W?s? and then even shorter to ?Dubs". However, the Warriors have certainly earned their nickname winning four titles in the last seven years.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Anthony Edwards 2021: Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements</h2>
Anthony Edwards is a 6'5" small forward who plays for the Minnesota Timberwolves. He was the number one overall pick of the 2020 NBA Draft.

[caption id="attachment_554336" align="alignnone" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-554336" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210216181218/2021-02-15T012849Z_1497579117_MT1USATODAY15576235_RTRMADP_3_NBA-MINNESOTA-TIMBERWOLVES-AT-TORONTO-RAPTORS.jpg" alt="Minnesota Timberwolves forward Anthony Edwards" width="1920" height="1280" /> Feb 14, 2021; Tampa, Florida, USA; Minnesota Timberwolves forward Anthony Edwards (1) reacts to being fouled during the second quarter of a game between the Toronto Raptors and the Minnesota Timberwolves at Amalie Arena. Mandatory Credit: Mary Holt-USA TODAY Sports[/caption]

Edwards is an explosive guard who can create chances for his teammates as well as drive down to the basket all by himself. His favorite players are <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/dwyane-wade/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Dwyane Wade</a> and Victor Oladipo, and the youngster is already earning massive comparisons with them.

Edwards has all the skills one can look for in a powerful guard. He has a beautiful jumper and can posterize defenders with his powerful dunks. He always proves to be a threat by drawing fouls and going to the free-throw line. 

He is most effective when running down the wing, as he gracefully slides past the defense to complete his jumper or a layup.?
<h2 style="text-align: center">Anthony Edwards with the Georgia Bulldogs?</h2>
Edwards? stint with the Georgia Bulldogs began in great fashion. He scored 24.0 points and registered nine rebounds on his debut in November 2019. The same month, Edwards notched up a season-high 37.0 points, with 33.0 of them coming in the second half.?

<img class="size-full wp-image-444307 aligncenter" src="https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Anthony-Edwards-2.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="675" />

Edwards earned SEC Freshman of the Year honors because of his heroics with Georgia. He was the top scorer on his team. After putting up <a href="https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/anthony-edwards-2.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">averages</a> of 19.1 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game in his freshman year, Anthony Edwards decided to forego college and prepare for the 2020 NBA Draft.?

He declared for the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/" rel="noopener noreferrer">NBA</a> draft in March 2020 and instantly became the top-ranked athlete in the draft class.?
<h2 style="text-align: center">Anthony Edwards Minnesota Timberwolves</h2>
After being one of the most sought-after prospects, the Minnesota Timberwolves drafted him with their number one overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft. Initially, he came off the bench for the Timberwolves, but injuries to starters gave him the chance to be part of the starting lineup.

[caption id="attachment_554335" align="alignnone" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-554335" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210216181154/2021-02-04T041539Z_16232288_MT1USATODAY15526934_RTRMADP_3_NBA-MINNESOTA-TIMBERWOLVES-AT-SAN-ANTONIO-SPURS.jpg" alt="Minnesota Timberwolves forward Anthony Edwards" width="1920" height="1280" /> Feb 3, 2021; San Antonio, Texas, USA; Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (1) shoots in the second half against the San Antonio Spurs at the AT&amp;T Center.

Edwards has solidified his starting spot after establishing himself as a reliable scoring option on the Wolves. He is still only 20, and with this level of effort, athleticism, and potential, he can be one of the best wing players in the league in the years to come.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Anthony Edwards NBA Stats</h2>
After a slow start to his life in Minnesota, Edwards proved his mettle in the second half of the season. Despite finishing as runner-up for the Rookie of the Year award, Edwards lived up to the hype, averaging <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/e/edwaran01.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">19.3 points</a>, 4.7 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Anthony Edwards 2021 Net Worth</h2>
Anthony Edwards is guaranteed over $40 million by the Minnesota Timberwolves as part of his rookie contract.

<h2 style="text-align: center">James Wiseman 2021: Net worth, Salary, and Endorsements</h2>
James Wiseman is a 7?1? center who plays for the Golden State Warriors. A native of Nashville, Tennessee, Wiseman is a promising big man, who enters the NBA with minimal experience in college, having played just three games.

[caption id="attachment_522871" align="alignnone" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-522871" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210121210245/2021-01-21T045719Z_1719712460_MT1USATODAY15462399_RTRMADP_3_NBA-SAN-ANTONIO-SPURS-AT-GOLDEN-STATE-WARRIORS.jpg" alt="Warriors' James Wiseman and Draymond Green" width="1920" height="1467" /> Jan 20, 2021; San Francisco, California, USA; Golden State Warriors center James Wiseman (33) high fives forward Draymond Green (23) as a time out is called by the San Antonio Spurs during the third quarter at Chase Center. Mandatory Credit: Kelley L Cox-USA TODAY Sports[/caption]

The youngster?s towering height and his ability to dominate at the rim are some of his best attributes. He clearly takes advantage of his ground and is a great rebounder on both ends of the court.

Wiseman is an excellent transitioning player, but not someone with great feet. He arrived into the league with a reputation of being a poor shooter, but he has honed his skills to adapt to the league.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Freshman year with the Memphis Tigers?</h2>
Upon graduating high-school as the #1 recruit, Wiseman pledged his loyalty to the Memphis Tigers men's basketball team. He reunited with his high-school coach Penny Hardaway, who was appointed as the Tigers? HC a year before Wiseman joined them.?

Wiseman made his regular-season debut for Memphis in a 97-64 win over South Carolina State. He played 22.0 minutes and scored 28.0 points while registering 11.0 rebounds, and three blocks.?

<img class="size-full wp-image-442293 aligncenter" src="https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/james-wiseman-1.jpg" alt="" width="1892" height="1382" />

However, an unfortunate string of events called for the NCAA to suspend James Wiseman temporarily in November 2019. The claim was that Penny Hardaway acted as a booster in helping Wiseman move to Memphis by paying him an expensive sum.?

Wiseman?s lawyers swiftly acted against the ruling and the verdict was for the youngster to serve a 12-game suspension and donate $11,500 to a charity of his choice. (The amount provided by Hardaway during his transfer to Memphis).?

However, Wiseman had other plans in mind and did not serve his suspension. He made a dramatic decision in December to leave Memphis and prepare for the draft instead.?
<h2 style="text-align: center">James Wiseman Golden State Warriors?</h2>
The <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/golden-state-warriors/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Golden State Warriors</a> drafted James Wiseman with their second overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft. They needed a big man, and Wiseman perfectly filled that void.

He has had a bright start to his career with the Warriors and has already got good chemistry with the team. Wiseman arrived in Golden State with the reputation of not being a shooter, but he is slowly learning the craft now, and has already started shooting threes and mid-range shots.

Wiseman has developed into a solid rim protector for the Warriors, along with being a pick and roll partner and a lob threat as well. He is currently averaging Wiseman is averaging <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/w/wisemja01.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">12.2 points</a> and 6.1 rebounds per game, and is among the favorites to win the Rookie of the Year.
<h2 style="text-align: center">James Wiseman 2021 Net Worth?</h2>

LaMelo Ball is a 6'6" point guard who plays for the Charlotte Hornets. They drafted him with their third pick in the 2020 NBA Draft.

LaMelo can contribute on either side of the floor. Ball is a gifted ball-handler and almost ambidextrous in his passing ability. He is easily one of the best passers to enter the NBA in a while. LaMelo is also a great rebounder and a versatile defender.

He is a scoring threat from anywhere on the floor, including the deep three-point range. However, his efficiency as a scorer has suffered due to his poor and immature shot selection.
<h2>LaMelo Ball Overseas Stats</h2>
LaMelo Ball played one season for the Illawarra Hawks in the National Basketball League in Australia. He put up strong <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/international/players/lamelo-ball-1.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">numbers</a>, but had very inconsistent shooting splits.

<h2>LaMelo Ball NBA Stats</h2>
In his debut season in the NBA, Ball lived up to the high expectations. He played his role as both facilitator and scorer for the Hornets, averaging <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/b/ballla01.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">15.7 points</a>, 6.1 assists and 5.9 rebounds per game in the 2020-21 season.
<h2>LaMelo Ball Charlotte Hornets</h2>
After being drafted with the third overall pick, LaMelo has instantly become a star at Charlotte. He was a weapon off the bench for coach James Borrego, before injuries to starters allowed him to enter the starting lineup. Becoming a starter further elevated his performances, and despite spending some time on the sidelines due to injury, he made a successful return to claim the Rookie of the Year award for the 2020-21 season. He has not only become the focal point of their offense but also the floor general. And as he develops his game, his role as a primary scoring option will also increase.

<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center">Stephen Curry's Net Worth 2024</h2>
Stephen Curry did not earn a lot early in his NBA career. Now, having established himself as one of the best players in the league, he is one of the highest-earning basketball players in the world. He became the first player to sign a $200 million contract in 2017. The sharpshooter signed a four-year $215.35 million contract extension with the <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/golden-state-warriors/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Golden State Warriors</a> in 2021, with an annual average salary of $53 million. And while doing so, he also became the first player to sign two straight contracts worth over $200 million.

[caption id="attachment_2474127" align="alignnone" width="4323"]<img class="size-full wp-image-2474127" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2023-12-20T054606Z_45622464_MT1USATODAY22143535_RTRMADP_3_NBA-BOSTON-CELTICS-AT-GOLDEN-STATE-WARRIORS.jpg" alt="" width="4323" height="2882" /> Dec 19, 2023; San Francisco, California, USA; Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (30) reacts after scoring against the Boston Celtics during the overtime period at Chase Center.

Curry has an estimated net worth of $160 million, according to recent reports. He has earned over $354,721,977 over 15 seasons with the Golden State Warriors. Also, like most world-class athletes, Steph earns a lot from endorsements and partnerships as well. In 2022, he was the 5th highest-paid athlete in the world earning $92.8 million, with $45.8 million in NBA salary and $47 million in endorsements.
<figure class="jsx-b9c5e7fc3c08d611"></figure>
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center">The early life of Stephen Curry</h2>
Stephen Curry was born on March 14, 1988, in Akron, Ohio. The four-time NBA champion was brought up in Charlotte, North Carolina. After graduating from Charlotte Christian High School, Curry joined Davidson College in 2006. The point guard slowly but steadily became one of the best college players in the country. After three years of college, Curry declared for the NBA draft in 2009. He later completed his bachelor's degree in sociology in May 2022.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center">Stephen Curry’s family and personal life</h2>
Stephen Curry was born to NBA veteran Dell and Sonya Curry. Much like Steph, Dell was a sharpshooter as well and played 16 seasons in the league, with 10 of them spent with the Hornets. Steph was born just two years after his father entered the NBA. So, naturally, he grew up around the league. The two-time NBA MVP has two younger siblings: Seth and Sydel Curry. Seth currently plays for the Dallas Mavericks, signing a two-year contract in 2023.

Steph married Ayesha Curry in 2011 in front of friends and family, after dating for a few years. The couple has three children together: Riley, Ryan, and Canon Curry. Given Curry's popularity, his children are in the spotlight as well and have quickly become internet sensations.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center">Stephen Curry’s career timeline</h2>
Stephen Curry was not dreaming of playing college basketball for Davidson College. However, most D1 college coaches thought Curry was too small and slight. Davidson was the only D1 college to offer him a scholarship because the head coach, Rob McKillop, believed in his abilities. It was a blessing in disguise for The Baby-Faced Assassin, as he improved consistently for the Wildcats. He soon became one of the best college players in the country. After three years of college basketball from 2006 to 2009 with some impressive performances, he declared for the NBA draft.

The Golden State Warriors selected Steph as the 7th overall pick, arguably the best decision the team has ever made. However, Curry did not bring success to the team overnight. Even though Curry showed flashes of greatness after entering the league, he suffered from multiple injuries that often kept him sidelined. So the Warriors' decision to draft the young star was under scrutiny.

[caption id="attachment_2474092" align="alignnone" width="3287"]<img class="size-full wp-image-2474092" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2023-12-20T055807Z_1149708489_MT1USATODAY22143576_RTRMADP_3_NBA-BOSTON-CELTICS-AT-GOLDEN-STATE-WARRIORS.jpg" alt="" width="3287" height="2191" /> Dec 19, 2023; San Francisco, California, USA; Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (30) attempts a three-point shot against the Boston Celtics during the second half at Chase Center. Mandatory Credit: John Hefti-USA TODAY Sports[/caption]

At the time, Monta Ellis was the best player on the team. Despite Curry's injury woes, they continued to believe in him and his abilities. In 2012, the Dubs traded Ellis to the Milwaukee Bucks and showed their intention to build the team around Curry, which was considered a major gamble by many. Safe to say, it has paid off in multiple folds. And no one is questioning the decision now.

As Curry improved his overall health and fitness, he started playing at a high level consistently. Curry won back-to-back MVP awards in 2015 and 2016, with the second one making him the first-ever unanimous award recipient. He led the Warriors to their first championship in 40 years in 2015 and won again in 2017 and 2018.

After a few disappointing seasons, the Warriors were back at the top of the tree as Curry won the Finals MVP award for the first time in 2022 after leading the Warriors to their fourth title in eight years.

In 2023, Curry surpassed Wilt Chamberlain (7,216) for the most field goals made in Warriors history with 7,222. He also became the first player in NBA history to score at least 10,000 career points off of three-pointers.

Against the Sacramento Kings, Curry became the first player to score 50 points in a Game 7 and surpassed Kevin Durant's previous record of 48 points before being overtaken by Celtics’ Jayson Tatum.

So far, Under Armour and Curry have released 11 signature shoes together.

Curry then bought a new mansion in Atherton, CA for a whopping $30 million, where he and his family currently reside.  The new Atherton property is an upgrade from their previous home in the same area.
