For the Warriors, size doesn’t really matter

With Draymond Green continuing the adventure at Golden State, then with the arrival of Dario Saric, the Warriors have managed to strengthen their racket. It was necessary, but it will surely not be enough since the Californian interiors lack size (none exceeds 2m08).

Moreover, there is only one professional pivot, in the person of Kevon Looney. With thirteen players under contract, the franchise still has room to sign a pivot, but it doesn’t seem to be a priority.

“There are a lot of good players on the market,” announces GM Mike Dunleavy Jr, for the San Francisco Chronicle. “I am satisfied with our group of thirteen players, even if we still have two places available. We will see what happens and what is possible. I don’t think there are any gaps to fill. We can always improve but overall, I’m satisfied. »

If the Warriors are not in a hurry to engage a pivot, it is because it is not enough to target a large player to make them happy. Above all, it must be compatible with Steve Kerr’s style of play.

“It’s hard to find interiors that fit with our system,” concedes the leader of the Warriors. “We would have to add a little size but we have to be careful, given our style and given the evolution of the game in the league. It’s not everything to hire a tall player. He must be talented, he must know how to play with us. We have seen it in recent years (especially with James Wiseman…). This is always our priority. »
