In six months, it won’t matter the Golden State Warriors’ record. The 9th seed and the 15th seed both enter next season at 0-0 without any accolades to their name.
Golden State will have this season defined not by their record but by their improvements.
However, their record, 3-14, could put in them in historic company as one of the worst year-over-year win percentage drops in league history. Overall, when they bounce back next year to repeat that history, many will forget this season.
That said, there will be a key few figures for each player that we can look back on to define their play and whether they’ll be a capable asset moving forward.
