3 possible ways in which Golden State Warriors can line up without Klay Thompson in the 2021-22 NBA season

#2 The Veterans

The Golden State Warriors front office knew the team lacked veterans heading into the offseason. After having a roster filled with a number of youth, the Warriors made it a goal to surround their young pieces with a variety of veterans. They went out and added some intriguing pieces. The first of those was Otto Porter Jr., who could become an intriguing "sleeper" with this Warriors team. After spending the last couple of years with a number of different teams, Otto Porter Jr. has the potential to become a fantastic complementary piece with his outside shooting and scoring ability.

The Warriors also brought back Andre Iguodala, who should be a fantastic addition, especially with his ability to help out the younger players on this team. Another name to keep an eye on is Nemanja Bjelica. For a team with a history of getting the best out of players, Bjelica has the potential to be a great big man asset off the bench with his outside shooting ability.

#1 The Offensive Firepower

This Warriors team will always be known for their offensive firepower, especially when Klay Thompson returns to the rotation. For now, the Warriors have some intriguing pieces that can continue to light up the scoring column when needed. Jordan Poole took some serious strides last year for the Warriors and looks to be developing into a solid offensive punch off the bench.

While many are thinking the Warriors aren't going to unleash Jonathan Kuminga early, his talent might be too intriguing to keep him on the bench for long. Still just 18-years-old, Kuminga will be one of the youngest players in the NBA, but you wouldn't think that from his build. At 6'8" 225 pounds, Kuminga has an NBA body that is ready to dish out contact whenever he's on the floor. After an impressive performance during Summer League, Kuminga could turn into a serious weapon off the bench for the Warriors with his two-way potential.

Golden State will still have Steph Curry at the heart of any lineup, which is always a great situation to have. Keep an eye on Andrew Wiggins as well, who started playing some of his best basketball with the Warriors last year.
