Golden State Warriors 2021–22 NBA Roster. How the Dubs Look With the Return of Klay Thompson

The Golden State Warriors have had a rough couple of seasons. Thi is mainly because of injury to their biggest stars. Notably, Klay Thompson has been since the finals against the Toronto Raptors. Now, with him returning this season, the Warriors look like a competing team yet again.

Their biggest move was Stephen Curry signing his contract extension. He almost took them to the playoffs last season as he averaged 32 points per game. With his splash brother now returning, havoc is now assured. Warriors will look to make a deep run in the playoffs, and maybe even get to the NBA finals this season.

Incoming players

Andre Iguodala

Their biggest signing this season would be Iggy. The 37 YO is returning to the Bay where he won multiple championships. Moreover, he was the finals MVP in their first finals triumph. The NBA veteran played for the Miami Heat last season. He will come off the bench for the Golden State Warriors and hope to make his impact on both ends of the floor.

Nemanja Bjelica

Jonathan Kuminga

The Warriors had great draft picks this season. Likewise, with the 7th overall pick, the drafted Jonathan Kuminga. He impressed the Bay with his performances in the G-league ignite. Kuminga put up 16 points, 7 rebounds, 2.7 assists and almost one block. He is an great two-way player and a valuable addition to the Warriors’ roster.

Kent Bazemore

The sharpshooter made his way back to LA this season. He played in 67 games for the Warriors last season and averaged a little over 7 points per game. However, he prides himself on his shooting and defence while on the floor.

Kelly Oubre Jr.
