Three Golden State Warriors players are featured in ESPN's top-100 ranking ahead of the 2026-27 NBA season. Stephen Curry ranks highest at number 12, despite a knee injury causing him to miss almost half of last season. Draymond Green is listed at 93, a drop from last year's position, and Jimmy Butler III is just above him. Butler III's ranking marks a decline after a season-ending ACL injury limited his appearances. The Warriors' assistant coach Frank Vogel has emphasized the importance of Kristaps Porzingis in their interior defense, labeling him a significant omission from the list.
