Warriors Wrap: Varejao Returning, and Durant Adjusting

The Warriors re-signed Anderson Varejao to a 1 year contract today, filling one of their remaining roster spots with the player they acquired last March.

Varejao is known as one of the most notorious floppers in the NBA, and while it can be an effective strategy to try to draw the occasional charge to swing momentum, Varejao often overdoes it.

It’s especially ridiculous when he tries to sell contact initiated by a guy way smaller than him, and his comically exaggerated flailing gets about an equal amount of incredulous laughter and indignant disgust.

If he gets more playing time next season as a backup center, hopefully he expands his game beyond just hustle plays and trying to sell contact to referees.
