2. Rondae Hollis-Jefferson

The Golden State Warriors understand that their potency on defense has likely decreased due to the loss of Kevin Durant and Andre Iguodala. This places perimeter defenders high on their priority list in the offseason.

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson is a great piece to add to the Dubs roster. He boasted the third-best Defensive Rating on the second-best defensive team in the league. His seven-foot wingspan helped him make a huge impact with the Toronto Raptors.

Jefferson is also one of the league’s best rebounding forwards. He has a great motor and provides high-energy in all of his minutes off the bench. Though he is a woeful 3-point shooter, he is a great finisher on the drive.

Acting as a replacement for Iguodala, Jefferson would thrive with the Dubs. His activity on the glass will bring them extra possessions and his versatility on defense will help them hold their own on the perimeter.
