3. Andre Roberson

The last time Andre Roberson competed in an NBA basketball game, Carmelo Anthony was still on the Oklahoma City Thunder. It’s been quite a while since Roberson was healthy but he might still have some gas left in the tank.

Roberson is only 26 years old. While knee injuries are capable of cutting a player’s career short, Roberson should be able to return next season after two years of recovery.

Before the injuries, Andre was one of the league’s most elite defenders. He is a strong athlete with long strides and even longer arms. His ability to disrupt opponents forced his name onto the 2016-17 NBA’s All-Defensive team.

Roberson would play a similar role to that of Andre Iguodala with the Dubs. If he can play minutes off the bench and bolster the Warriors defense, his time in Golden State would be remembered fondly. The only question is, can he stay healthy?
