There’s a glaring problem staring the Golden State Warriors in the face, and that’s size.

There’s an easy, quick fix, and that’s to bring back second-year, 7-foot center James Wiseman. However, while the prospect seems primed for a return, swelling in his knee will continue to keep him sidelined.

The Golden State Warriors may look into signing a center given James Wiseman’s recent setback. Here are 3 options they could explore.

The Warriors will likely continue into the postseason without a rim protector. In fact, they won’t have a single player in their starting five that stands over 6-foot-9. That’s going to be a problem and one they have the ability to somewhat fix.

The Dubs missed out on DeAndre Jordan in the buyout market.

The free agents that became available weren’t quite what we’ve seen in past years. Robin Lopez didn’t end up getting bought out, and other veterans like Kelly Olynyk will more than likely remain with their respective team.

Having missed out on bringing another big man and with Wiseman out for the foreseeable future, Bob Myers and company are exploring options to add a center per NBC Sports’ Kerith Burke. With that in mind, let’s dive into 3 options for the Dubs.
