Top 5 Patrick McCaw moments as a Warrior

4. Drive and dish to Looney

The Warriors are a team that thrive off versatility. They have multiple guys who can play various positions on the floor. When they roll out their Super Death Lineup, there’s a lot of players who can create for themselves and others.

McCaw looks like he’s going to fit in nicely with that. He’s 6’7 with really long arms. He’s got a pretty good looking shot that can really help the Warriors space the floor especially off the bench with Shaun Livingston, Andre Iguodala, and David West.

In this clip, however, McCaw is flashing his vision. He’s showing his offensive creativity and ability to adjust on the fly, He’s not just the shooter that people have been describing him as–he can really put the ball on the floor and make things happen.

He hesitates on the wing and jabs. He gets the defender off balance and explodes with his left hand towards the rim. He sucks in four defenders. He rises up as if he’s going to shoot a layup, splits two Raptors, and finds a cutting Kevon Looney with his left hand after double-clutching in air.

McCaw looked extremely comfortable on that play. He showed patience with the ball in his hand before he even puts it on the floor. He draws multiple defenders and finds the open man. It was an impressive play that showcased his patience, handle, and vision. Something the Warriors value and and down the roster.
