5 Severely Underrated Golden State Warriors of the Last Decade

The Golden State Warriors have dominated the last decade, yet some of their most underrated players rarely get the same spotlight.

Top 5 Most Underrated Golden State Warriors of the Last Decade

5. Jordan Poole

Whenever you hear the name ‘Jordan Poole’, you often think of the incident between him and Draymond Green. However, his impact on the Warriors is impossible to ignore, particularly during his 2022 championship run. Before his exit, Poole played a crucial role in the Warriors’ offensive spark. He was called the “Warriors’ third splash brother” for a reason and was destined to be the future star at Golden State.

The NBA world often forget that Poole was just 22 years old when he won the title that year, stepping up as a valuable solution while Klay Thompson worked his way back from injury. Poole averaged nearly 19 points per game that season and delivered multiple 30-point performances during the playoffs, proving vital in the Warriors’ road to the final against Boston.
