The forward is the ultimate role player and journeyman. The Warriors will be Niang’s sixth team in 11 NBA seasons.

The 33 year old is a career 40% 3-point shooter and is widely known for his stretch four abilities. He’s a solid shooter, can space the floor and gives Golden State another gritty player.

After a quiet offseason, the Warriors have made two signings in the same day. Golden State targeted both Williams and Niang over the last month to fill its two open regular-season roster spots.
