The Golden State Warriors have seen a fair amount of departures during NBA Free Agency. A notable exit was Donte DiVincenzo as he reunited with his brothers from Villanova basketball to play for the New York Knicks. General manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. made sure to also have additions through Chris Paul and, now, former Detroit Pistons guard Cory Joseph.
Joseph is headed to the Warriors after signing a free agent deal. The ex-Pistons playmaker agreed to a one-year deal, per Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN. He is set to add some ball handling and can be a third-string floor general when Stephen Curry and Chris Paul are not on the court.
The 6-foot-3 guard adds a much-needed veteran presence to lead young stars like Trayce Jackson-Davis out of the Indiana Hoosiers. He also has championship experience. The Toronto native helped the 2014 San Antonio Spurs to an NBA championship after they triumphed against a LeBron James-led Miami Heat squad.
His availability is his best asset. Joseph played 62 games on an average of 19.8 minutes on the floor. He is a career 44.2% shooter from the field and his shooting has only improved.
Steve Kerr gets a player that is good at the perimeter and three-point shooting with his entrance to the Warriors. He knocked down 38.9% of his shots from beyond the arc. His shooting also had a career-high in the 2020-21 campaign with the Pistons. Cory Joseph shot 50.6% from the field during that time which means that he has a huge offensive upside.
