The Golden State Warriors signed Marquese Chriss to a one-year deal on Tuesday. However, Anthony Slater of The Athletic feels that the former No. 8 overall pick will have a hard time making the team's final roster for the coming season, as his deal is non-guaranteed.

As part of his argument for Chriss not making the Warriors' final roster, Slater pointed out the team's current financial situation:

Slater: Chriss is unlikely to make the roster. Because of the hard cap, the Warriors don’t currently have the necessary wiggle room to add a 15th and final guy to their roster. If they did, Damion Lee, currently on a two-way deal, would likely get that spot.

But if Chriss can impress in camp, the Warriors could shed a piece to find a spot for him. Alfonzo McKinnie is the easiest to lose. He’s the only of the 14 current roster guys on a non-guaranteed deal. They could cut him at any point before the Jan. 10 deadline.

Chriss, now 22 years of age, has struggled to find a home in the NBA. He was drafted in 2016, but the Warriors are already the fourth team he's been a part of. The Sacramento native served a reserve role with the Cleveland Cavaliers last season.

In 27 appearances with the Cavs last season (two starts), Chriss racked up averages of 5.7 points on 38.4 percent shooting from the field (26.3 percent from beyond the arc) and 4.2 rebounds in 14.6 minutes per outing.

As Slater noted in his piece, Chriss is facing an uphill battle. However, if he can impress the Warriors enough, perhaps he'll earn a spot on the roster.
