It’s well known that Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson are two of the greatest shooters of all time. Kevin Durant is not far behind them. But despite their excellence at the top, the Warriors have struggled in recent years to find supplementary shooting to give their stars some breathing room.
Having a few shooters to hit open shots would do wonders for an already dangerous Golden State offense: it would give more space for the Warriors’ stars to attack the rim, punish double teams, and allow them to play at faster pace. But the Warriors’ bench unit was the least productive in the league at hitting threes last year, and it frustrates the way Steve Kerr wants to run his offense.
