25. Zaza Pachulia, Golden State Warriors

As the notorious weakest link of the Golden State Warriors‘ starting five who still nearly made the All-Star team thanks to his home nation of Georgia, Zaza Pachulia is a master of unintentional — and sometimes intentional — comedy.

He only averaged 6.1 points and 5.9 rebounds per game last year, he often bobbled passes that would’ve been easy layups and during the team’s Finals run, he became borderline unplayable for certain stretches.

With that being said, all the Dubs need him to be is a serviceable body in the paint who grabs rebounds, moves the ball, sets screens and relatively holds his own on both ends of the floor. Pachulia is hardly a glamorous addition to this star-studded team, but the Warriors are currently set in that category anyway.
