The former Finals MVP, Andre Iguodala, will always have a special spot within the Golden State Warriors. His ability to be a force on the defensive end has always been valuable. Iguodala also has the veteran leadership and knowledge of the game to punish opponents on offense.

Iguodala will not be used frequently in the regular season and this has already become apparent. He is the Warriors secret weapon, reserved only for certain occasions. Iggy provides that extra spark off the bench that is needed in important playoff series. He is, after all, one of the original members of the “Death Lineup”.

As a result of his importance, he is going to be saved from playing big minutes in the regular season. Therefore, his numbers and his performances will not be anything significant.
