Golden State Warriors

Patrick McCaw, Damian Jones

Patrick McCaw, their second-round pick, has logged a surprising amount of minutes on the Warriors considering the amount of talent that is on the roster.

On the other hand, Damian Jones, the team’s first-round pick, has sat out the majority of the games this season. McCaw is not going to be a high scorer for this team. Instead, he’s more so a role player, as one is when you have Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green on your team.

Though, when all the stars aren’t playing, McCaw has shown his scoring prowess. He’s just not going to be asked to showcase it much this year.

He’s been a decent addition to the team and can help contribute on the defensive end.
