The votes are in for the Golden State Warriors All-Decade 2nd team for the 2010’s (the Hampton’s 5 lineup was bestowed automatic 1st team status). Let’s see who you chose!
- PG: Shaun Livingston
- SG: Monta Ellis
- SF: Harrison Barnes
- PF: David Lee
- C: Andrew Bogut
As GSoM scribe Thomas Bevilacqua astutely pointed out, this lineup resembles a team fighting for an 8th seed in the 2012 Eastern Conference. A few questions worthy of morning sports chatter show spring to mind:
Who is the leader of this team? Who takes the last second shot? Which Warriors coach from this decade would be best suited to maximize their talents?
I do, however, like this starting five’s chances versus the current projected starters of Team USA’s FIBA 2019 squad.

But I also noticed there were a ton of other votes sprinkled around for other Dubs of the decade. In honor of that, we now ask you to select the All-Decade 3rd team for Golden State

I separated the bigs by power forward and center designations originally, and now with that massive list pared down by your votes, we can determine who should fill the two front court spots. I chose the five bigs with the highest vote totals from the previous poll.
Vote for your first choice, and then who you would want them to pair with in the trenches.
