Inconsistency and injuries have plagued Mitchell Robinson’s career to this point, but when he’s right the talent is undeniable. Robinson is one of the NBA’s most feared shot-blockers, with a wingspan that stretches to the stars and virtually unfathomable leaping ability for a player his size.

Kevon Looney is the least celebrated of Golden State’s regulars, but he has been a steadfast contributor for one of the NBA’s best starting fives for three years now. A savvy rim protector and efficient rim-runner, Looney does all the little things to accentuate the Warriors’ superstars.

Christian Wood has no shortage of scoring ability. He puts up a remarkable amount of points relative to his time on the floor. That said, defensive mistakes and sporadic malaise consistently keeps him glued to the bench in big moments.
