Jonas Jerebko

The second of several Warriors to crack our list is Jonas Jerebko. A pleasant surprise, Jerebko was a solid bench piece for Kerr’s Warriors. He even had a few big moments in the postseason as well as a game-winning tip-in early in the season against his former team, the Utah Jazz.

Shooting 46% from the field, Jerebko averaged 6.3 points and 0.9 threes per game this past season. Playing in 73 games, Jerebko backed up Green and could be looking at a major increase in minutes if he re-signed.

Signing for the minimum last season, Jerebko could potentially get more elsewhere. He’ll certainly get a few offers, but Golden State should also interact with the 6-foot-10 forward. They could likely promise a larger role in the offense this time around.

Jerebko, while not always productive, was an efficient threat for Kerr. He’s a smart player and should be somewhat of a priority for Golden State.
