The Warriors were starting the 6-foot-6 Draymond Green and Trayce Jackson-Davis — a second-round pick who averaged 6.6 points last season — towards the end of the playoffs. “Their ceiling is really kind of the move that they make in the offseason to upgrade themselves athletically right in the front court,” says Davis. “I personally think they need some front-court athleticism to compete in the West with Nikola Jokic, Naz Reid and people like that.” -via Basketball Insiders / June 6, 2025
