The Golden State Warriors have already signed and then let go of one NBA Development League player, but there are more guys who could help the Dubs in the D-League.

There is a lot of hyperbole going around about the Golden State Warriors this season. There’s been talk of the team being both over- and underrated, of the team relying on Kevin Durant too much (who wouldn’t?) and of the Warriors not having enough shooters.

That last point stands out. On the surface, it seems ridiculous. How could the team with Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson not have enough shooting? Well, quietly, the Dubs actually have been surviving without enough outside shooters.

As Carter Rodriguez detailed over at the FanSided mothership, there are a lot less shooters in Golden State than there were last season. Such is life when clearing salary cap room for a player of Durant’s caliber.

With the Cleveland Cavaliers and Houston Rockets sucking up most of the available NBA players who are threats from long-range during the NBA trade deadline and buyout season, and the Minnesota Timberwolves stealing away Omri Casspi, how can Golden State add shooters now, should they want to?

The NBA D-League is an option. The Warriors were giving Briante Weber a shot before Durant’s injury, which caused the Dubs to go after Matt Barnes.

There’s no guarantee Golden State is interested in signing anybody else, but there are options out there if the Warriors do feel like they could use some more deep threats.

Here are five of them, all currently balling out in the NBA D-League and available to be signed by Golden State as soon as the Dubs clear a roster spot.
