#3 Jordan Poole

The Golden State Warriors drafted Jordan Poole with their first-round pick last year. Currently, Poole is a rather raw player for the Warriors to keep around and is likely to be included in NBA trade packages. He played 57 games in 2019-20, starting in 14 of them, but struggled massively from the field, shooting at just 33.3% accuracy. He's not too imposing on the defensive end either.

Poole will most certainly take some time to develop. As long as he's not really adding to the Golden State Warriors' expected quest for a title and also resulting in a higher luxury tax bill, the franchise might want to trade him. The Warriors have several players to fill in the secondary shooting guard's role as well.


#4 Juan Toscano-Anderson

Juan Toscano-Anderson made his way to Golden State via their G-League affiliate Santa Cruz Warriors. Another fringe player for the Warriors, he may actually have a future in the league as a slashing wing.

As a rebounding forward, Toscano-Anderson just doesn't offer enough for the Golden State Warriors to consider keeping hold of him. As such, he's likely to be used for matching salaries in potential NBA trade packages.


#5 Marquese Chriss

Marquese Chriss has already spent a few seasons in the NBA and managed a career-high 9.3 points and 6.2 rebounds for the Golden State Warriors last season. With Kevon Looney also returning to action, many see Chriss as the backup center for the Warriors.

Marquese Chriss' future with the Golden State Warriors depends on whether the franchise decides to address the center spot in free agency or via NBA trades. In case they do, Chriss is likely to be cut considering his current contract with a Warriors is a non-guaranteed one.
