Bob Myers Reveals His Feelings On Andre Iguodala

With the start of training camp about a week away, the roster for the Golden State Warriors is set, with possibly one exception.

They have one final roster spot remaining, and it appears general manager Bob Myers is keeping it open in case veteran forward Andre Iguodala decides to return for one more season.

All summer long, he hasn’t decided whether to keep playing, but Myers is still hopeful he will come back for a run at a fifth NBA championship.

While on a recent episode of “The TK Show” podcast, Myers told Tim Kawakami of The Athletic that Iguodala has immense leadership skills where he can hold Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green accountable while also being a positive influence on the team’s up-and-coming rotation players.

“There’s no one else in the league that can do that for our team,” said Myers. “And we think he can still play and help us in certain spots. So we really want him back.”

Iguodala Has Given The Warriors A Multi-Faceted Veteran Role Player

For Golden State, Green is its Swiss Army knife, as he is a jack of all trades such as rebounding, passing and handling the ball in the open court but is also a master of defense.

Iguodala is a role player cut from a similar mold, and although he isn’t as skilled or talented as Green, he can do many of the same things he does.

In particular, the 6-foot-6 forward’s defense has made him a valuable part of each of their four championship teams in the Curry era.

Although he is not a good 3-point shooter anymore, percentage-wise, his ability to hit timely treys is still an asset to the Warriors, as is his passing.
