It is more important than ever to have a deep bench ready to step up when needed in the NBA. This is one problem the Golden State Warriors need to address before next season, as their bench isn’t exactly the strongest.

This isn’t to say that Damion Lee, Juan Toscano-Anderson, Jordan Poole, Eric Paschall and Kent Bazemore didn’t have some great moments throughout the season. However, the Dubs likely wouldn’t have missed the playoffs if they had a truly reliable scorer in their back pocket.

The Golden State Warriors’ bench is lacking in the scoring department. Here are three unrestricted free agents who can help out.

If you don’t remember, rotations got tight during the Play-In games. The Dubs outed eight-man lineups in both games, putting immense wear and tear on their stars. While some of this was due to injuries, the Dubs could have avoided this altogether with a more deeply stacked bench.

The Warriors will have a little bit of wiggle room to work with this summer. A nearly $6 million dollar MLE offers all the cap space they need to add one sure-fire scorer to the second unit. Here is our list of the top three players to consider.
