8. JaMychal Green

The LA Clippers have made it their mission to build a team full of lanky and versatile defenders. JaMychal Green has fit this mold nicely and would be even better with the Warriors.

Green is playing 20 minutes per game off the bench and averaging a solid 6.5 points and 6.3 rebounds. His 6’8″ frame makes it easy for him to be a deterrent in the paint and he’s agile enough to hold his own against bigs that can shoot.

Green is also capable of stretching the floor himself. This season, Green shot 36.3 percent from deep. He would instantly become the Warriors’ best shooter in the frontcourt.

Though he is only 29 years of age, Green is much more experienced than Marquese Chriss and Eric Paschall. This would not only be an upgrade in deep-shooting but an upgrade for experience as well.
