Warriors rank outside top-20 in preseason NBA power rankings
Summary

The Golden State Warriors are ranked No. 22 in The Ringer's preseason NBA power rankings, just outside the top-20. This places them in the 'Sad Play-In Hopefuls' tier alongside the Portland Trail Blazers and New Orleans Pelicans. Concerns arise regarding the team's aging roster, including 36-year-old Draymond Green and 40-year-old Al Horford. The Warriors, who missed the playoffs last season with a 37-45 record, will be without Jimmy Butler and Moses Moody due to injuries. They aim to improve with contributions from newcomers and veteran players as they prepare for the upcoming season.
