Andre Iguodala

Though this season continued his box score statistical decline, Iguodala has been the Warriors’ most consistent and impactful player off the pine this year. Playing off the bench for the first time in his career, Iguodala has managed to impact every game he plays in despite only having a usage rate of 13.2, the lowest of all Warriors regulars. Though he doesn’t control as many possessions as he used to, Iggy is still an excellent perimeter defender, an underrated facilitator, and a very valuable supplementary scorer on the second unit. He holds opponents to 41% shooting from the field, improved Golden State’s offense by 3.3 points when he’s on the floor and per 36 minutes averaged 10.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, 4 assists and 1.6 steals while shooting 48% from the floor.

Other than Stephen Curry, Iguodala has been Golden State’s most important player so expect to see a lot of him this postseason.

Verdict: In.
