Golden State Warriors: Player power rankings through the first 12
Tier No. 3
The third tier consists of the Dubs two most efficient second unit players, Jonas Jerebko and Alfonzo McKinnie, along with their final starter, Damian Jones.
Damian Jones
Albeit he’s shooting just 6.3 points per game, Jones hasn’t made a huge impact on the Dubs this season, but he has been extremely efficient, taking complete advantage of every opportunity. At 76.2%, he’s shooting the highest percentage of any Warrior this season.
Ultimately Jones isn’t suppose to be the go-to player for the Dubs, so in the minutes he’s given, he’s been excellent. A sure-fire starter, it seems Kerr made the right decision to give Jones the start to begin the season.
Alfonzo McKinnie
One of the greatest NBA stories, McKinnie has one of the wildest treks to the NBA. Now that he’s playing for the Dubs, he’s been successfully integrated into a phenomenal system that helped him find his rhythm in the league.
Averaging 6.8 points and 52% from the field, McKinnie has been much more efficient than many would’ve thought.
Jonas Jerebko
The former Jazzman, Jerebko has found a home on the Dubs second unit. Once the unit’s leading scorer, Jerebko is down to averaging just 6.6 points per game. An efficient weapon that gives the offense solid spacing, Jerebko should continue to see minutes with his improved and effective performances.
