6. Cody Zeller

The Golden State Warriors have a decent amount of depth in their frontcourt. Marquese Chriss, Draymond Green, Kevon Looney and Eric Paschall will all be jockeying for minutes at the four and five positions next season. However, aside from Looney, the Dubs don’t have any ‘true’ centers.

The need for a towering center isn’t as vital as it was before. But, having a big that can use his size for rebounding and rim protection is still important. Cody Zeller isn’t exactly elite in the paint but he is an undeniable 7-foot tall.

Zeller averaged 11.1 points and 7.1 rebounds per game last season. He started in more than half of his games for the Charlotte Hornets and helped anchor their battle on the glass each night.

The Warriors don’t have Zeller at the top of their wish list but he is someone they could consider if all else fails.
