Golden State Warriors Receive: F/C Kristaps Porzingis
In fact, it’s difficult to believe these Warriors haven’t featured a player like Porzingis throughout their dynastic run.
We’re talking about a big man who spaces the floor. One would think that such a perimeter-oriented team would have rostered such a player. One would be wrong.
When the Warriors won their first title, they featured Andrew Bogut. He was a stout stationary rim protector who doubled as a passing hub, but he couldn’t shoot.
Neither can Kevon Looney. He’s been the starting 5 on this team since Bogut retired. Perhaps the Warriors don’t need such a player because they’re prone to running Draymond Green at the 5.

Could Porzingis be the right man to test those looks with?
