The Golden State Warriors should be looking to add another center to their depth chart before the playoffs start. With DeMarcus Cousins fresh off of an Achilles injury and Damian Jones likely out for the season, there is no telling how thin the rotation could become at the center position.

Jordan Bell and Kevon Looney are currently the only other centers on the roster. Both of them are undersized at 6’9″ and haven’t shown much to prove they can be trusted in the playoffs. This means that if Cousins gets injured again, the Warriors won’t have many options to replace him.

This is why they should pursue Robin Lopez. He is an experienced 10-year veteran player that can be trusted in big moments. Standing 7-feet tall, Lopez will be the tallest player on the Warriors roster.

His size would help make him a solid addition as well as the assurance that the Dubs would have a reliable replacement if any injuries occur to their remaining centers.
