Not many fans would think that the Golden State Warriors would lead the league in blocks. I mean, why would they? The Dubs have no elite shot-blocking center and don’t necessarily have one of the league’s top-tier defenses.
However, they top the league with 6.6 per game. They’re the top spot by quite the margin too with the second-highest team, the Milwaukee Bucks, rejecting just 5.9 shots per game.
That said, how do the Warriors send back to many shots? If they don’t come from the typical shot-blocking position, where do they come from?
It all starts with their forward play.
