Golden State Warriors

Biggest Hole: Center Position 

I wanted to say nothing here, because of the obvious, but that’s not fair. The Golden State Warriors are by no means perfect, even though they may in fact contain the best roster a single team in the NBA has ever seen.

With a core of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Kevin Durant and Daymond Green, the Warriors do actually have one “weakness”. It’s the center position. Even though they got great value by inking Zaza Pachulia to an extremely cheap contract, he still isn’t a starting caliber center in the NBA.

While the thought is that the immense talent in the team’s other areas will be enough to mask the weakness, similar to what the Miami Heat did when they started the likes of Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Erick Dampier and Joel Anthony during their golden years, I still feel that the team’s lack of rim protection will eventually hurt this team.
