What an offseason can do. Last season, the Golden State Warriors were struggling, and they failed to reach the playoffs after being eliminated by the Los Angeles Lakers in the play-in tournament.
This 75th Anniversary Season, they look like a completely different team but with almost the same roster.
The Warriors started hot thanks to the already mid-season form of Stephen Curry, the upbringing of Gary Payton II and Jordan Poole as the second-best scorer in the squad.
Despite ending their seven-game winning streak, Golden State is in a very comfortable place right now, and not for long will they have a deadly weapon back, Klay Thompson.
Thompson, who missed two NBA seasons due to ACL injuries, is raring to get back on the floor and put a fire on the net once again.
He is reportedly doing well on practice as he is now participating in 5v5.
Although not much is expected from him in his return, having Klay in the mix, the only player in NBA history to hit 14 three-pointers in a single game, is a massive threat in favor of the Warriors’ offense.
