1. Golden State Warriors
It’s no surprise to see the Golden State Warriors at No. 1. After all, they are the reigning NBA champions and will be returning every key piece from their title run.
And at least for the moment, no other team in the Western Conference has made a huge improvement to their roster to knock off the Warriors from the top.
Of course, the big question for this team will revolve around whether their core can continue to play at such a high level. We know Stephen Curry will, but at what point do we begin to see even more drop-offs from Klay Thompson and Draymond Green?
