The break in case of emergency pool

25. Kay Felder

24. Derrick Williams

23. Matt Barnes

22. James Michael McAdoo

21. David West

These players aren’t exactly guys that you can’t count on, they’re just players that won’t be used unless necessary. They might see the occasional couple of minute burst here and there, but for the most part they’re the “break in case of emergency” group.

David West, James Michael McAdoo and Matt Barnes are two names to watch for the Warriors. If needed, these are players that have been there before. They’ve been relied on in the past and, with exception of McAdoo, have seen the ups and downs of the NBA playoffs.

Derrick Williams could be an interesting name to watch for Cleveland, if the Cavs need another athlete to combat Golden State’s athleticism.
