Warriors 2026-27 roster analysis: Williams' fit, Porzingis' health among key questions
Georges Niang and Brandon Williams filled the last spots on the Golden State Warriors' roster, but head coach Steve Kerr still has plenty to tinker with around Steph Curry.
Golden State Warriors have announced their final 15-man roster for the 2026-27 NBA season, with Brandon Williams and Georges Niang as the key acquisitions. The roster is set, with little significant movement expected. Despite the aging nature of the team, there are still some promising players on the roster, such as Williams' potential as a sparkplug and rookie Yaxel Lendeborg's bullish attitude.
Additionally, debutante LJ Cryer, who is a two-way contract player, could also see some playing time. The backcourt features Stephen Curry, Brandin Podziemski, DeAnthony Melton, Brandon Williams, Gary Payton II, Will Richard, LJ Cryer, and Nick Boyd. Curry is expected to continue his strong performance, while Williams, Melton, and Payton are expected to see significant minutes.
The wings feature Jimmy Butler, who is recovering from a torn ACL, Moses Moody, who is recovering from a torn patellar tendon, Jimmy Butler, Yaxel Lendeborg, Gui Santos, and Georges Niang. Butler and Moody are expected to be sidelined for an extended period, leaving the team in need of two-way size. Lendeborg and Santos will compete for the starting spot, while Niang could provide rotational catch-and-shoot minutes if healthy.
