This time around, things are different for the Warriors entering training camp — in a good way. Another Larry O’Brien Trophy is nothing new. The same goes with having new faces in the building. What is different with training camp beginning Saturday at Chase Center, is the fact that the Warriors will come into camp and their preseason slate with a completely clean bill of health. No more setbacks, no more question marks. James Wiseman has been good to go all offseason after playing four straight games in the Las Vegas Summer League. Rookies Patrick Baldwin Jr. and Ryan Rollins were held out for the entirety of summer league. That’s no longer the case. None of those three will be restricted in practice or preseason, barring a later issue popping up.
Today’s video will be about how the Golden State Warriors are finally fully healthy and why this should TERRIFY the rest of the league.
What coach Steve Kerr will do in the preseason is make sure everyone gets minutes. All 20 players on their training camp roster traveled with the team to Japan on Tuesday for their two preseason games against the Washington Wizards, and all will see time at some point. That also means being smart with veteran stars Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green. These three have been responsible for one of the greatest dynasties in NBA history and when all is said and done, we may be looking at the Golden State Warriors and saying that they are one of the best professional sports dynasties ever!

Let’s keep rolling.
Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green still run this team and are the faces of the Golden State Warriors, but we would not be talking about Golden State being the defending NBA champions if it wasn’t for some of their young players stepping up last season.
The jump Jordan Poole made from Year 2 to Year 3 in the NBA was tremendous and we cannot overshadow what Andrew Wiggins has done either. People were calling Wiggins a “bust” in Minnesota and since coming to the Warriors, all he has done is become a more well-rounded defender, a much better three-point shooting threat, and he made his first All-Star Game as a starter and most importantly, he won a championship and was one of the main reasons this team won a championship.
Andrew Wiggins is the key to success for the Golden State Warriors and the fact that he is only 27-years-old gives this front-office a lot to smile about.
Looking at the rest of this young core in Golden State, Jonathan Kuminga, Moses Moody and James Wiseman are a big reason why this team remains a championship contender and why the Warriors possess some of the best long-term potential out of any other team in the NBA right now.
Wiseman is finally healthy for once and in Summer League this past July, he looked ready for the start of the new season. There will be a learning curve for him since he is still only 21-years-old and has only played in 39 games, but Wiseman gives the Warriors even more frontcourt depth and more importantly, an athletic lob-threat offensively that can possibly be an elite-level rim-protector defensively.
Jonathan Kuminga is a very athletic, versatile forward that truly is a positionless player for the Warriors.
James Wiseman coming back from injury and JaMychal Green joining the frontcourt obviously gives the Warriors more big man depth, but what cannot happen is for Draymond Green to miss a large chunk of time like he did this past regular season and then someone else like James Wiseman, JaMychal Green or Kevon Looney to miss time.
There is so much talent that attacks the paint in the Western Conference right now, which is why the Warriors are going to need their length in order to compete during the regular season.
“We’re expecting everybody to be ready to go,” Kerr said Thursday at Chase Center.
Everyone is excited to get a glimpse of what Baldwin and Rollins can give Golden State, not just this season but more importantly in the future. However, the spotlight will shine brightest on Wiseman.
Still only 21 years old, Wiseman finally is getting the fundamental reps and experience that every young player desperately needs in the NBA.
And what is your opinion? Can the Warriors stay healthy? If so, are they looking at another championship this season? I would love to hear what you think so please let me know in the comments.
