Ky Bowman

Bowman played his rookie season with the Warriors, kicking the year off on a two-way contract before playing enough to warrant being moved over onto the roster full time. He primarily served as Curry’s backup but also started a handful of games in his absence.

While on the roster, Bowman proved to be a vital part of Kerr’s gameplan. His numbers won’t shock you. Bowman wasn’t the star-studded athlete nor the stat-stuffing star that fans may want, but he does all the little things.

Along with playing stellar defense, Bowman doesn’t turn the ball over, a staple of what every NBA coach craves. During his 45 games, Bowman averaged 1.6 turnovers per game in just under two quarters of action.

With a 17.1% turnover percentage, Bowman showed that he can play at the highest level. The 22-year-old did notch 7.4 points per game, but it’s more about the intangibles that he can bring to an organization.

If he can continue his growth, there’s no reason Bowman can’t hit his ceiling, which should be around 15 points and 8 assists to go along with his above-average defense.
