1. The Warriors should avoid Keon Johnson from Tennessee

Much like Garuba, Keon Johnson‘s inability to produce offensively makes him a bad option for Golden State. Steph Curry and Klay Thompson will get theirs, which means more bodies will be sent their way. As said before, role players will need to not only fit into the Warriors’ scheme but find ways to score when Curry and Thompson are out. Johnson can’t do that.

He shoots an abysmal 27 percent from three-point range, which adds another reason why the Warriors should avoid him. He can defend many positions — again, something the Golden State could really benefit from. However, his offensive game is just too limited for a Warriors team that runs a complex system needs pieces to win now.
