Warriors Head Coach Steve Kerr Gives Major Hint at Possible G-League Signing

Published 10/02/2020, 5:50 AM EDT

The Golden State Warriors are preparing for the 2020-21 NBA season and are on the lookout to sign new players. The Dubs are searching for NBA G-League prospects that sit without contracts right now.

According to NBC Sports, five players attended the voluntary minicamp for the Warriors on Thursday. Of those players, 31-year-old Jonathon Simmons impressed head coach Steve Kerr. Simmons, who has already played in the NBA for five years, could be a great fit for the Warriors.

Steve Kerr’s Warriors are in need of a true small forward to clock minutes when Andrew Wiggins rests. Simmons has also spent some time with the Santa Cruz Warriors (Warriors’ G-league team) and Kerr would be happy to recruit such talent to his team.

Steve Kerr: "Jonathon Simmons has had a good week of camp and still has years to offer in the NBA, in my opinion." As a fit with Warriors? Kerr: "Possibly. We could use the length on the wing."

Signing Jonathon Simmons will make sense for the Dubs from a financial point of view as well. They currently don’t have much flexibility to sign big name role-players. However, there is still a long way to go for the 2020-21 NBA season to begin.

In the meantime, the Dubs can scout a lot of talented players. They can also use the #2 pick for drafting a young prospect according to their needs. On the other hand, they can also use it to trade for a few role-players. It all depends on the front office’s approach in the off-season.

With the addition of Andrew Wiggins, the Dubs have a reliable third-option that can provide some scoring. All things considered, the Warriors are ready for next season and will be looking to regain the NBA champions label.

What do you think? Can the Golden State Warriors make a fantastic comeback or not?
