Like DeRozan, he could slot into a dynamic sixth man&#8217;s role. Or, because he already has so much experience with Golden State, he might even be able to play some jumbo 2-guard with Curry, Butler, Draymond Green and Al Horford.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Would the Warriors be interested in an Andrew Wiggins reunion?
