NBA Early Season Contenders vs Pretenders

5 of 12

Golden State: Contender

The splash brothers are set to have a big year.

With Klay Thompson fresh off of his new mega-extension and Steph Curry still being one of the best shooters in the game, the Warriors have what it takes to go all the way. They have a great defender in Andre Iguodala, who can lock the opposing team’s best player down, they have size down low with Andrew Bogut and David Lee, and a good energy guy off the bench in Harrison Barnes.

The only concern, however, is that it might be a little too early for the Warriors to make it to the next level, time will tell but as of now, they are ready to win now.
