After spending their taxpayers’ midlevel exception on DeMarcus Cousins, the Warriors can only offer the minimum to players who would decide to join the championship chase. On Thursday, the Warriors officially signed the 31-year-old Jonas Jerebko to a minimum deal.
Jerebko is a 6-foot-10 power forward who is best known for his spot-up shooting. Last year with the Utah Jazz, Jerebko shot almost half of his shots from three, hitting 41.4% of them. He nailed 53% of his corner threes, a truly elite rate. The Warriors were last in the league in bench three-pointers last year, and can really use Jerebko’s spacing in bench lineups.
