12. Shaun Livingston

Much like many other players at this point on the list, Shaun Livingston is more of luxury than anything. He won’t be logging big minutes, unless injury occurs, in the NBA Finals, but he could provide some much-needed bench scoring for the Warriors.

He makes for a difficult cover on the defensive end, with his 6-foot-7 frame, and has the experience you want in a backup point guard.

Livingston won’t be asked to do much in this series, but he might end up being a valuable option off the bench for the Dubs. And, with Curry’s health history, it’s always good to have insurance in your backcourt. That’s what he provides the most.
