League Search Page > NBA > Golden State Warriors > Roster & Statistics

The Golden State Warriors 1990–91 featured a prolific offense led by Chris Mullin and Tim Hardaway, whose scoring and playmaking formed the foundation of the team’s attack. Mitch Richmond provided another elite scoring option, giving the Warriors exceptional perimeter production, while Sarunas Marčiulionis added efficient scoring and secondary ball handling. The statistics indicate a fast-paced, guard-oriented team with outstanding offensive firepower but comparatively less impact from its interior players.

Tim Hardaway Starter/Star [1.1] 39.2 High [1.2] 22.9 4.0 9.7 2.7 103.49 Operating as the floor general in Don Nelson’s up-tempo system, Hardaway constantly pushed the pace and created early offense before defenses could get organized. Season coverage regularly described the Run TMC attack as one of basketball’s fastest, with his ball-handling and passing driving the entire scheme. (Sporting News) MVP-19, All-Star
Chris Mullin Starter/Star [1.1] 40.4 High [1.2] 25.7 5.4 4.0 2.9 100.58 Rather than forcing shots, Mullin thrived through sharp off-ball movement and elite efficiency, giving Golden State a dependable half-court scorer when transition opportunities disappeared.
