For the Golden State Warriors, the backup shooting guard position is like that one corner storefront that always goes out of business. You know the one. It’s a restaurant in a seemingly great spot, but for whatever reason it’s always caught in a cycle of closing down and new openings.
Ever since Leandro Barbosa left, the Warriors have been searching for an answer. Part of the problem is ironically what makes the team so good - Klay Thompson is an iron man, and our two key bench players in Andre Iguodala and Shaun Livingston are both larger guards that can handle the ball and shoot a bit.
