The Warriors had a hard season. After injuries ruined their three-peat, they went on to ruin the 2019-20 season. Klay Thompson missed the entire season and Steph Curry broke his hand early in the season. D’Angelo Russel and Draymond Green were unable to lift them as the team fell to the bottom of the conference. They traded D’Lo for Andrew Wiggins, in anticipation of the team fit next season. D’Angelo made the back-court rotation complicated, while Wiggins is a body on the wing which would allow Thompson and Curry to form the back-court.

The team looks dangerous for the future. They have top-3 odds for the number one pick in the draft and will have Klay and Steph back to full health. Wiggins will succeed if he isn’t expected to carry the same load he was in Minnesota. Draymond’s unmotivated play this season is concerning, but Green is a fundamentally sound player and shows up in big moments. General Manager Bob Myers is confident in this team’s depth and ability to succeed. Rookies like Eric Paschall are valid rotational pieces.
