By Weldon Jones
Andre Iguodala still remains a steady veteran leader on the Golden State Warriors roster.
Andre Iguodala is the sixth man in Steve Kerr’s rotation. He is the back-up small forward to Kevin Durant, and A versatile swing man who can guard multiple positions. His averages for the NBA regular season thus far are 5.6 points per game, 3.0 rebounds per game, 3.7 assists per game, 1.07 steals per game, and he logs the fifth most minutes per game at 24.1.
The 32-year old veteran is contributing in every statistical category. The role he plays is very important. Andre Iguodala has continued to provide elite defense, play-making, scoring, and rebounding for the Warriors’ second unit.
He is also elite at closing out games with the starters and does a great job with providing all of the little things that the Warriors need and will continue to need. He is past his prime so the fact that he produces like he does and is also a steady option for the Warriors is just another advantage he gives this team.
The combination of big game prowess, his versatile skill set, veteran experience, and talent makes Andre Iguodala the perfect player to number 5 on this list. During this Warriors stretch of basketball and in previous seasons he has been consistent, reliable, and a great locker room presence for the premier team that is the Golden State Warriors.
