4. Marreese Speights, Golden State Warriors

Although he’s been unable to make a major impact during the Warriors’ playoff run, forward-center Marreese Speights was an integral part of the team’s second unit during the regular season.

He also served as a capable replacement for oft-injured starting center Andrew Bogut. In his nine starts for Golden State this season, the six-foot-ten, 255-pound Speights averaged 15.1 points and 5.7 rebounds per game.

Speights is a man that plays with passion when he is on the floor. Given that fiery demeanor, one can’t help but wonder what kind of tandem he and Booker would make for Utah’s bench.
