Inspired by r/nbatalk, I thought it would be fun to look back at Warriors history, and create our own version of this grid.
So let’s start with day 1, who do you think is the most underrated Warrior of all time?

Shaun Livingston
Jarret Jack
The young squad lacked on-court toughness and self belief before he arrived. He was instrumental in getting them to see what they were capable of becoming.
Livingston is the correct answer but Mo Buckets is a good one too
Relative to the all Warriors players, all time? Or just underrated in the modern NBA? My answer would probably be Kevon Looney either way.
Dude accepts his role, no fuss or issues. One of the most humble dudes of all time, and one of our best defensive strengths in the second unit for a big stretch. When the Jones injury happened, he produced well for what was expected of him.
He deserves credit and it’s not going to come in any other category, so I’m throwing it out there.
Ottomatic Porter
Antawn Jamison, dude was the only saving grace of some horrible teams and it’s not his fault he was a swap for Vince Carter.
with the way the sub shits on steph sometimes imma say steph.
but my real answer is jason richardson, fun answer is ian clark.
Despite his incredible accomplishments, could see an argument for Draymond due to how loud his detractors are and his style of play.
David Lee was our first all star in 16 years, but I feel he’s been overshadowed because of the dynasty that he only caught the first year of.
Larry “Mr. Mean” Smith
I’m prepared to be downvoted, but I’d say it’s Harrison Barnes. You’d think he was an absolute bum for how he’s talked about…. Not that it’s unwarranted considering his last 3 games with the team could qualify him for the top right square, but he was a very important player for the team
Antawn Jamison. Top 50 all time scorer and one of the few bright spots during some bleak years in the late 90s and early 2000s. Also made a couple all star games, although not with the Warriors.
Marreese ‘Mo Buckets’ Speights. I feel like he’s not given enough credit for the scoring he provided in that first title run
Bogut is completely forgotten about in those 2014-16 squads
Steph Curry
Livingston
jason richardson
David Lee
Dorell Wright. He laid the tarmac for the Great One
Bogut
Baron Davis
It’s a tough choice for me, but I have to go SDot.
Mikael Pietrus was an absolute sniper from the corner. Monta Ellis carried our team for like 3 years with 0 help around him, and Jason Richardson was a constant all star snub because of how loaded the west was in those days.
Livingston or Richardson
Maybe not before but for all the new fans… Sprewell. David Lee was one of the foundations for all of our rings. No one talks either. Someone else commented Livingston. That’s another

Speights, Otto, Lee, Andre, Livingston, Jamison
Šarūnas Marčiulionis!
Marciulionis
Monta Ellis was the face of the previous Warriors era of mainly losing, but he was still a legit player.
