Warriors center James Wiseman is entering an important second season with Golden State, one with raised expectations for the larger team as a whole. After a promising rookie season that was hindered by a lack of summer league, a quick training camp, and unfortunate injuries, Wiseman will be a vital part of Golden State’s success this coming year.

Read MoreAs Stephen Curry enters the 13th season of his incredible career, one major question looms: how long can he sustain this for?
His 2021 All-NBA First Team selection indicates that he hasn’t slowed down yet. But his age of 33, style of play that relies on constant movement and relative lack of size are signs that he could have a significant decline in the coming years.

The team has a record of 377 consecutive sell-outs at home, good for a full four and a half full, 82-game seasons – meaning there’s been nine years straight at home of selling out both Roaracle and the newly-christened Chase Center. The 2012-2013 playoffs was a sort of coming-of-age for Stephen Curry, putting up a performance only those who followed him closely during his NCAA run at Davidson would recognize. The Warriors were eliminated in six games against the San Antonio Spurs at the height of their powers, a team that would beat prime LeBron James and the Heatles in the Finals one year later.
