Golden State Warriors

Tall guards seem to find their way on NBA rosters; with the success of Golden State’s Shaun Livingston in this season’s playoffs, LeVert could also find much success from his height and skill set.  The height advantage has proven to give an edge even against some of the toughest defenders in the league.

LaVert may get the chance to grow as a player behind some of the best players in the positions, Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Shaun Livingston, and Andre Iguodala.

Once he puts on some weight and develops his game on the superstar team, the already versatile guard could eventually fill the roles of aging Livingston and Iguodala.
