Here is the Golden State Warriors 1977–78 Roster and Regular Season Player Statistics. This season marked the final year for Rick Barry with the Warriors.
The 1977–78 Golden State Warriors were led offensively by Rick Barry and Phil Smith, whose scoring and playmaking formed the foundation of the attack. Clifford Ray provided a strong interior presence with rebounding and efficient finishing, while Sonny Parker emerged as an effective secondary scorer. The Warriors combined disciplined team defense with solid rebounding and balanced ball movement, but a below-average offensive output limited their overall production despite their defensive strength.
