Heading into the regular season, the Golden State Warriors lack wing depth, with Patrick McCaw holding out for a better contract and Andre Iguodala likely saving his body for the playoffs. The team’s first round pick, Jacob Evans, is expected to play major minutes at both wing positions.
An older rookie, Evans was lauded for his defense and versatile offensive game in the draft process. He’s a complementary player that is theoretically a good fit with the Warriors’ stars. If he can contribute on both ends, he’s somebody that could play significant minutes in a playoff series against an elite team like the Houston Rockets.
