Warriors all-time starting lineup: Shooting guard, Paul Arizin, 108.0 Win Shares

Klay Thompson may be the most recognizable shooting guard for modern Warriors fans. But not putting the player who has the third-best Win Shares mark in franchise history would be very weird. Therefore, we have Paul Arizin here as our shooting guard. The Hall of Famer played in the 1950s and helped the Warriors dominate the league during that time. Arizin averaged 22 points and 8 rebounds during his career.

Arizin ended up his career with 108 Win Shares for his entire career. He played before the 3-point shot but he ended up shooting 42 percent from the field. This team will need a little bit of spacing with Curry and Arizin will provide that, even if he was technically a small forward in his era and may not be used to the modern 3-point line.
