Golden State Warriors: David Lee, Andrew Bogut healthy going into training camp
By Wes Goldberg
Neither Andrew Bogut, nor David Lee played more than 70 games for the Golden State Warriors last season. Keeping those big men healthy for the length of the season has long been as issue for the team, but Marc J. Spears of Yahoo Sports is reporting that both are healthy going into training camp.

Clearly everything the Warriors do revolved around their guards Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, but having Lee and Bogut healthy makes the team real contenders in the Western Conference.
It’s nice that they are going into training camp healthy, but they will need them for the playoffs, too. Bogut wasn’t available for the playoffs last season and Lee got injured the season before.
If you’re into win shares, Lee contributes the second-most wins last season and Bogut was fourth. The Warriors have decent depth behind them, with Festuz Ezeli expected to return as well as Draymond Green and Harrison Barnes being able to play as a stretch-4. Having all these guys healthy makes the Warriors one of the deepest teams in the NBA.
Last season, Lee averaged 18.2 points and 9.3 rebounds in 33.2 minutes per game in 67 games. Bogut also played 67 games, averaging 7.3 points and 10 rebounds per game.
