Baron Davis played for the Golden State Warriors from 2005 to 2008, scoring an average of 20.1 points per game.
Golden State’s Future Hopes:
Despite his impressive stats, the team only made it to the playoffs once during his time there. Now, Baron Davis believes that the Warriors will have a comeback season. Last year, Steve Kerr’s squad had a rough time, losing games they could have won and struggling with their lineup.
โWhen I put my player and coach lens on, we were four games away from being in that fifth spot,โ Davis told ClutchPoints. He thinks this year’s team can be better by at least four games compared to last year because they have more talent and fresh energy.
New Faces and Young Talent:
Kerr now has new players like Buddy Hield, Kyle Anderson, and De’Anthony Melton on his roster. But how well Brandin Podziemski and Jonathan Kuminga develop will be key for the team’s success this season. The Warriors missed out on signing Paul George and Lauri Markkanen over the summer, so younger players will need to step up. Kuminga is especially motivated since he’s playing for a new contract unless he signs an extension soon.
Fans believe that young players are crucial for any team’s future success.
The Road Ahead:
The Warriors face a tough journey ahead after getting knocked out by the Sacramento Kings in last season’s play-in tournament. Competing in a strong Western Conference means securing a playoff spot won’t be easy. Kerr must rely on his deep bench of role players if they want to succeed.
Yet Davis is optimistic; he thinks Golden State is more talented now than before. If things don’t go as planned early in the season, they have enough trade pieces to make big changes. With Steph Curry leading them, we should never count them out as playoff contenders!
