We have truly entered a new Warriors era when two of their free-agent signings could be considered underrated, or even good. Even to have one signing make this list is a true testament to the paradigm shift that occurred in the front office come Joe Lacob and Bob Myers.

Marreese Speights is no exception to this new pattern of smart offseason moves. He averaged 10.2 points, 5.1 rebounds and 0.7 blocks and assists in 18.5 minutes during his tenure with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Speights offers floor-spacing at the power forward position that the Warriors were just not getting with David Lee. He shot 48.4 percent on shots 16 feet and beyond but within the three-point arc. He also holds opposing power forwards to a PER of 8.3 when he matches up against them, per 82games.com.

Speights is a great pickup because of his diverse skillset, and is a steal for his contract of $10.9 million over three years.
