Alright, let’s talk hoops! Today I’m diving into something that’s always buzzing in my head – the Golden State Warriors starting roster. It’s a team that’s seen some serious changes over the years, so figuring out their opening lineup is always a fun puzzle.

First, I gotta check the basics. I hit up some sports news sites. ESPN, Bleacher Report, you know the drill. Just to get a sense of what the “experts” are thinking. Sometimes they’re spot on, sometimes they’re way off, but it’s a good starting point.
Then, I start piecing things together. I think about Steph Curry – he’s a lock. No brainer. He’s the engine that makes the whole team go. After that, I’m thinking Klay Thompson? If he is healthy, he has to be in the lineup. His defense and shooting are still important to the team.
Next up, Draymond Green. Another absolute must. He’s the heart and soul defensively, and his playmaking is severely underrated. He just makes everyone around him better.
Okay, now it gets a little trickier. Who else? This is where I start looking at recent games, pre-season stuff, anything to get a clue. I also checkout what people are saying on Warriors’ subreddit. Sometimes those fans have some surprisingly insightful takes!
Andrew Wiggins has to be in that starting line up. He is a great two way player, very important for the team’s success.

So, my final prediction? I’m going with:
- Steph Curry
- Klay Thompson
- Andrew Wiggins
- Draymond Green
- Kevon Looney
Of course, this could all change. Injuries happen, coaches shake things up, and some young blood might emerge. But for now, that’s my best guess. What do you guys think? Am I missing something? Let me know in the comments!
