The Golden State Warriors have found their footing as of late offensively, but they still remain squarely in position for the Play-In Tournament. They currently are sat with a 19-18 record and the eighth seed in a loaded Western Conference.
For many, it would be relatively easy to count the Warriors out as championship contenders at this point in the season. They have dealt with significant missed time from their aging stars, and the surrounding role players have largely been lackluster.
For draft guru Sam Vecenie, however, the fully story has not yet been told. On the latest episode of the Game Theory Podcast, Vecenie stood strong by his stance that Golden State should remain in the contender conversation simply by virtue of the looming trade deadline.
