Nearly half a month later, the Warriors made another reinforcement. JaMychal Green, who had just been waived by the Thunder, joined the Warriors. For the Warriors, this was a very good reinforcement.
As a Ronin player in his career, he has been in the Clippers, Spurs, Grizzlies, and Gold Nuggets, and the one who has stayed the longest is the Grizzlies, where he also showed his tough style of play. He was once the sixth high school student and the first power forward. He has become a ronin player…
While it’s likely not his final home here, he’s definitely been an important upgrade in the Warriors’ quest to defend their title this season.

2021-22 (Nugget): 6.4 points, 0.9 assists, 4.3 rebounds
In terms of his stature, he is very similar to OPJ, with a height of 6 feet 9 inches and a wingspan of 7 feet 2 inches. Although his perimeter shooting performance was not good last season, if it is enlarged to his career performance, the overall shooting percentage is considered It’s very good enough, so it’s very useful as an extended No. 5.
And his ability to protect the rim in the interior is even better than that of OPJ and Bjelica in the Warriors last season. At the same time, the performance of the above two players in switching to the perimeter can only be said to be barely usable, but Green’s ability is even better. , in other words, the presence on the defensive end will be higher than the above two people, but also have better defensive flexibility, but if the object of comparison is Looney, who is very strong in big and small, it may still be a little worse. Cut, but Looney is a special case, he is already very good.
At present, Green can do all of OPJ’s offensive skills, and can even do more. For example, OPJ can do open three-pointers, hand-offs, and OPJ’s less pick-and-rolls are also expected to see Green. He can even integrate into the team as quickly as OPJ last season. Although he can’t take the initiative to organize like Bjelica, the Warriors don’t need so many players to hold the ball in the second team. The current Warriors already have Poole and DiVencenzo. Hold the ball.
His standard is actually similar to last season’s OPJ. He can integrate into the system and doesn’t need him to do a lot. Even his ability to break accounts is just an add-on, as long as he can grasp those gaps as before. Getting started is enough.
From the perspective of the Warriors’ overall combat strength, he can become the second center except Looney. After all, Wiseman’s current situation is still a question mark when he comes to the NBA station for rotation, and he doesn’t want Kuminga to be the opponent’s center for a long time. His better direction would be to match up once morest the opposing team’s best leading scorer, as Wiggins is doing now.
At present, he and last season’s OPJ are the closest in various positions, and may even become a player like Bjelica who completely plays No. 5. Considering the problem that OPJ will overlap Kuminga’s role, there is also a certain chance. Overlapping, it depends on the state of Wiseman’s opening season. If Wiseman is in good enough shape, then of course he will enter the rotation, otherwise he will be a third center, and if Wiseman enters the rotation, either Kuminga at No. 4, or let him Kuminga mentioned the 3 position, but this has the opportunity to get stuck in Moody’s time, but from another perspective, the Warriors’ starting main force can have a lot of time to rest.
Compared to when most players were expected to join, they would need an adaptation period, or even worry regarding whether they would become a failed signing due to maladaptation. At present, it seems that Green does not have this problem at all.
At this stage, the only thing he has some doubts regarding is that his three-point shooting rate in the Golden Nugget dropped significantly last season, which made him a target for the Golden Nugget to clear his salary. Judging from the OPJ last season, he will have a very strong performance. There are a lot of empty three-pointers, as long as they can be grasped, they can become a very good source of bench firepower, but if the situation last season continues into this season, it is very likely that he will not be able to enter the rotation. In other words, in addition to In basic value, the 3-point shot will be the key to playing time.
At the same time, OPJ has one thing that I liked very much last season, that is, his hard work, and Green also has this point. He has a good ability to protect rebounds, and all kinds of Hustle Play are not a problem. He even has the opportunity to become the offensive and defensive energy of GPIl. , he has a lot of good things regarding leaving players, it’s a great addition.
In terms of the rate of return on investment, this should be a low-risk, high-reward investment. Even if he really can’t fit into the team, except that this is only a basic salary contract, the Warriors also have enough people to fill this vacancy.
In addition, this is probably the last signing of the Warriors in the summer, and the next step may be to sign back Iguodala or other players to fill the grid, and Rollins or Santos, Weatherspoon to see who can fill the 14-man roster.
At present, it seems that the Warriors will choose to open the season with 14 players due to salary pressure, in order to maintain the flexibility of the lineup, and the current roster includes the Spray Brothers, Poole, Wiggins, Green, Looney, DiVencenzo, Kuminga, Moody, Wiseman and Green, There is also the PBJ selected this season, and the rookie Rollins who seems to have signed a contract for 3 years. The roster comes to 13 people. If Iguodala is willing to return as the boss of the lounge, then it is certain that 14 people can start the season. Either make Weatherspoon a regular contract, or continue to sign from free agency.
Although I haven’t seen any candidates yet, I wouldn’t be surprised if Myers makes another move.
In conclusion, this can be regarded as relieving the Warriors’ pressure in the penalty area, replenishing the team’s energy, and even another player who can make up for OPJ and Bjelica to leave the team’s penalty area. , Bob Myers’s operation is really excellent, must give applause.
