I mean the obvious answer is Curry but if we go with guys who I thought had potential but then didn’t pan out, Anthony Randolph for sure.

I know people are probably saving this for the next round… but getting Chris Webber first overall was the player with the most potential. And that team could have been really good around him, even if he didn’t play Center.
And yes, signing him to a bad contract, trading him etc was a waste of that potential for the team, but he didn’t waste it as a player, and that’s more how I read that category. Wiseman should win the wasted potential category over Webber for example.

Curry. I think that guy’s going places.

This question should be clarified. Because as it is “Who is the Warrior we drafted that had the most fulfilled potential?” Curry, case closed.
But if we interpret the question as “Who is the Warrior that we drafted / signed as a rookie that had the most unfulfilled potential?” Wilt. Case closed. It’s **not** even remotely close.
Wilt is a consensus all time great, a unquestionable top 10 player of all time and that likely will not change anytime soon, or possibly ever. By every metric he should have been the greatest of all time. He should have been Bill Russell or at least cut into Russell’s career and it could / should have been a split of 13 titles between them more evenly, instead of 11-2.
What other player that was drafted by the team, or signed with us first had the nearly unfathomably upside of Wilt? No one.
If we credit Curry with changing the game forever… do I even have to finish this thought?

It’s Steph. Why even bother? Wilt would be next.

I feel like this could be Poole. Dude was supposed to be the next splash bro for us

PS, I think the question is pretty vague, my personal interpretation is the Warrior with the most potential currently, but I didn’t want to box people in

If the front office is to be believed, smiley.
This is a hard category because we have reached so often, but if we compare where they ended up then I think unfulfilled potential for us would be Webber or Vince Carter.

Steph had/has the most potential. Unless there’s a 4 time champ 2 time mvp brewing in Podz…

I like Draymond. Rick Barry is annoying.

Chris Webber playing C in a Don Nelson offense… that had the makings of one of the greatest players ever, if only he just embraced the role.
Still had a hall-of-fame career, but his ceiling was limitless as rookie in Golden State.

Most fulfilled potential is Curry.
