As NBA free agency opens Friday, what are the Warriors missing? The Dubs essentially have three open slots, and could be looking at three categories.
New offseason, same size concerns. The issue has been top of the mind for Dub Nation year in and year out. It’s a rinse-and-repeat frustration, and keeps on trucking. This offseason, it’s more understandable than usual.
Bob Myers’ final first-round draft pick as Warriors GM is at least 6-foot-10 and hit 38.1 percent of his 3-point attempts in limited time as a rookie. And he’s listed at 6-foot-9. Green is the Warriors’ small-ball center, and is sure to see plenty of action there going forward. The Warriors need another big body, whether he can stretch the floor or not.
Jordan Poole gave the Warriors three players with at least 200 3-pointers, but he made only 33.6 percent of his threes in the regular season and shot 25.4 percent behind the 3-point line in the playoffs. Poole is on his way out as part of the Paul return, and CP3 was much more efficient beyond the arc last season. Paul shot 37.5 percent as a 3-point shooter last season on 4.4 attempts per game. It’s not the main part of his game, but Paul is a 36.
Quinones has a lot of fans within the building and is a strong two-way contract candidate. He averaged 21.8 points per game for the Santa Cruz Warriors in the G League, shooting 45.1 percent overall from the field and 35.4 on 3-pointers. Quinones will play for the Warriors’ summer league team, too.
