Golden State Warriors potential addition: Darius Miller

Darius Miller is another name to keep in mind. With Kelly Oubre Jr. not the most consistent shooter and Klay Thompson sidelined for the entire season, the Warriors could use a proven three-point shooting threat.

Miller could be on the market, currently playing for the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Thunder, with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander sidelined for at least a few weeks, won’t even sniff playoff contention. They’ve collected picks in their route to rebuilding their roster.

With no need for Miller, expect a buyout. Averaging just 3.7 points per game, Miller hasn’t been the biggest scoring threat, but he is shooting over 42 percent from deep. That’s something the Warriors could use.

Miller has played the majority of his career with the Pelicans. At his peak, he was averaging 8.2 points per game but just isn’t being used much with Oklahoma City. An elite and efficient three-point shooter, Miller would be an ideal addition for Golden State.
