I know this sounds crazy but I liked what I saw from JTA and he showed some team leadership over the offseason organizing teammates at protests and such. I think JTA has the inside track on that roster spot.

I'm with you on that. It sounds insane, but I think he'd actually be a pretty solid 3/4 hybrid if he could shoot over 35% from three. Everything I saw from JTA indicated that he knew how to play, where to be on the court, and when to pass the ball. He's just not a shot creator and he'll probably never be able to get to the hoop unless defenses respect his shot. But he looked solid defensively to me as well and rebounded with gusto. Sounds insane, but I found myself thinking that JTA couldn't have been that much worse than Livingston was in the 2019 Finals.

Livingston was honestly terrible in those finals. I like JTA too, and especially Mulder. I think both can have solid niches on the team, assuming we can't find clear improvements.
Personally, I have not liked what I have seen from Jonathan Simmons the last 2-3 years at all.

Mulder is going to make the team. He’s the first high volume three point shooter the Warriors have found outside of Steph/Klay/KD. Wish he was an inch or two taller, but if he’s the smallest guy in the court at 6’4-6’5 and you have Draymond running point forward with shooters, you’ll be fine defensively. In a tiny sample size, ESPN’s BPM has Mulder as a top 20 player in the NBA and his value came overwhelmingly on defense, which is encouraging.
I looked up Livingston’s impact numbers after making that first post to see if it matched the eye test, and yikes. I couldn’t find numbers for the playoffs, but Livingston was in the bottom 100 or so in PIPM. The only Warriors that ranked lower than him were Cook and Bell. Even Evans ranked better.

Not trying to say they are parallel, but one player's first season vs another player's first season. I think this proves at least that a rookie season doesn't determine a career or how much they can mean to a contender.

I get you but I’ve been watching Anderson for two or three seasons. He’s been on SC for that long.
What he is is a really good hustle guy. Like legit hustle guy. But he’s more often out of control than in control. And for every good play he makes, he’ll have two or three mistakes. He’s an inefficient scorer. He’s a really good rebounder for his size though. Part of that being hustle.
I like the kid. Really good guy. But he’s not good enough to be a key piece on a legit title contender.

Steph
Klay
Wiggins
Draymond
#2 Wiseman
TPE - Winslow
MLE - Crowder (Draymond just recruited him)
Vet Min - Reddick
Paschall
Looney
Chriss
Poole
That leaves Lee, Mulder, Bowman, and Smiley on the bubble.
Steph Klay and Reddick always have a guy on the floor working hard for open looks. Prolific three point shooting.
With Winslow you have a big back up point guard who can provide excellent wing defense. Poole would pick up scrap minutes when not in Santa Cruz.
Crowder and Paschall backup the forward spots with offense and defense. Big physical forward/wings.
At center we have versatility with Wiseman being our big lengthy center. Chriss as the high energy athletic undersized forward. And Looney, who can be trusted to play really good defense, especially when healthy.
A forward rotation of Wiggins, Draymond, Crowder, and Paschall is nice. And Winslow fits that mold as well.
Could still use a scat type point guard, but maybe Poole becomes that guy. Bowman or Mulder outside chance. Lee would be on the outs most likely if this played out.
Crowder
