Shabazz Napier

The last one on the list is Shabazz Napier.

Napier, who was originally a star with UConn in college, was a former first-round pick. He’s turned into a capable shooter and backup point guard. The Warriors could use his talents on their second unit. Napier averaged a career-high 10.3 points per game this past season.

He played part of it with the Timberwolves and the latter part with the Wizards. He neared 12 points per game in just a handful of games with the Wizards. Much like a discounted Seth Curry, Napier would provide leadership and playmaking off the bench.

His hot hand from three-point land could help as well. Napeir did average 1.4 threes per game last season, one reason he’s become a hot commodity among teams searching for that second unit talent.

All of these make sense in some regard, but with a limited budget, don’t expect much moving forward from Golden State.
