NBA: A long-awaited reinforcement arrives at Stephen Curry’s Warriors
Published on August 11, 2023 at 1:12 p.m.
Following the start of training camp, the NBA can expect plenty of signings in the coming weeks, although the offseason has been pretty quiet for several days. The franchises have planned to sign people to test all the possibilities, like the Warriors on Thursday. While Golden State is sorely lacking in weight in the racket, a big man should finally arrive to help Stephen Curry and others.
Determined to return to the top of the NBA, the Warriors trusted in Chris Paulen lieu and in place of Jordan Poole. The success of the Dubs should depend on his acclimatization with Steph Currynot to mention the behavior of Draymond Green. The latter had ruined everything last year by attacking Poole, the supporters therefore hope that he will be held up this season. Especially since CP3 and Green have some antecedents… But the real problem to be solved in order to hope to do better than a conference semi-final concerns the internal stations, which are too friable.
New recruit for the Warriors
This Thursday, Shams Charania of The Athletic announced that the new GM has validated the temporary signing of Jayce Johnson, who obtains a contract for the training camp. We are talking here about an interior capable of capturing rebounds, as none are able to do in the current workforce of Warriors : “The Golden State Warriors sign NBA G-League leading rebounder Jayce Johnson to an Exhibit 10 contract for training camp. The pivot was 6 points and 7 rebounds in July’s Summer League, and will be fighting for a two-way contract. tweeted the insider.
Jayce Johnson in stats, what does it look like?
Last year, Johnson played in 32 regular season games in the G League and averaged 9.4 points, 13.5 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game while shooting 57.8 percent from the field. Additionally, he appeared in 11 Showcase Cup games averaging 6.2 points and 7.1 rebounds per game while shooting 49.1 percent from the field. Anyway, what should be remembered is that the Warriors absolutely want an interior. And when you know that rebounds have been a problem in the past, Jayce Johnson seems to be an ideal profile.
