SF. KK Cedevita. Dzanan Musa. 28. player. 41.

Musa is likely to come over next season, giving the Warriors another shooter on the wing who can score in bunches off the bench. At 6-foot-8, Musa’s advanced handles and smooth stroke allows him to score proficiently at all three levels.

There are plenty of concerns with Musa as a prospect. His shot selection isn’t always great, he doesn’t have great physical tools, and his defense is one of the biggest negatives in the first round. Still, given his polished offensive talent, he feels like somebody the Warriors can maximize.

Adding strength and translating some of his competitive fire into defensive consistency will be key for Musa. He’s rather one-dimensional right now, which is never good — even if he’s extremely talented in that one dimension.
