Obi Toppin – Dayton – Forward – 22 – 6-foot-9
If the Warriors have eyes on returning to the NBA Finals as soon as next season, Dayton’s Obi Toppin is ready to help get them there. At 22. Toppin is ready-made to fill a role at the next level.
Toppin is a vicious dunker that will finish nearly everything at the rim. The Dayton Flyer’s 20 points on 63.3 % shooting from the field brought him the 2020 AP College Basketball Player of the Year award.

The Brooklyn native would be a high flying energizer off the bench with unmatched athleticism. However, there are still some question marks about Toppin’s long term defensive ability.
Surrounding Toppin with Thompson and Green could hide his defensive flaws while he runs the floor in Kerr’s fast-paced offense.
