Which Warriors players will be with the team in 2020-21
Uncertain
Although Alec Burks has been one of the sole bright spots for the Warriors this campaign, averaging over 16 points a game coming off the bench the 5th most for a bench player this season he isn’t guaranteed to stick around.
Burks is only averaging 42.6 from the field but his leadership, shooting and experience have seen the Colorado alum enjoy a career resurgence with six 20+ point games under his belt.
Despite the former Utah man expressing a desire to stay in the Bay, his trade value has skyrocketed this year and the Dubs might see if they can acquire some decent assets in exchange for the veteran wing. Nevertheless, if the Dubs believe they can return to contention it may be wise to keep Burks around.
Glenn Robinson III
Possibly similar to Burks, Robinson may have value on the open market as a solid defender who can shoot the triple potential playoff teams may view Robinson as a useful asset.
Kerr has used Robinson as the starting small forward this year and has seen the former Detroit Piston finally put it all together in a career season for the veteran wing, averaging 11.6 points per game and 4.7 rebounds per game.
Robinson has a player option on his contract and might not stick around for 2020-21.
The Warriors love Chriss’s potential and upside which is a big reason they brought him back on a two-way deal after reluctantly cutting him to ensure Damion Lee remained a Warrior. Nonetheless, Chriss’ future isn’t yet guaranteed with the Warriors.
With Alen Smailgacic expected to feature in the rotation, Kevon Looney likely to be fully fit and with Omari Spellman and Draymond Green on the roster next year, Chriss may end up as the odd man out. But what might help him is his ability as a lob threat and strength to play the center position.
