The 30-year-old veteran athlete can serve as a mentor for the young players of the Golden State Warriors team and he can help on both offense and defense. Josh Smith can also be the back-up forward for Draymond Green and the Warriors can maintain their playing style -- the catch-and-shoot -- since Smith is an efficient 3-point shooter and a tenacious rebounder.
Meanwhile, Yibada reports that Josh Smith choosing the Golden State Warriors as his next destination can be good for the veteran's career. Offensively, Smith can fill the void left by Harrison Barnes as a second unit player, while providing interior defense for the team.
