Ognjen Kuzmic

Kuzmic, a second-round draft pick by Golden State in 2012, bought himself out of a European contract to come stateside for the 2013-14 season. A knee injury to Festus Ezeli opened an opportunity for the Serbian center, but he saw limited action on the third string behind Andrew Bogut and Jermaine O'Neal. Kuzmic then suffered a November hand injury that cost him six weeks. He spent much of the season honing his skills for the Warriors' affiliate in the D-League. Kuzmic clearly needs to work on offense, with rebounding and shot-blocking his present strengths. After playing four games in the Las Vegas Summer League, Kuzmic suffered a stress reaction in his left leg. The Warriors expect him to be fully recovered by early September and ready for the beginning of training camp. Beyond that expectation, there isn't much. There's no clear backup center on the roster going into camp, but it's hard to see a team like Golden State with postseason aspirations handing over a prime rotation spot to an untested Kuzmic. He'll be battling with Festus Ezeli, but when push comes to shove, we'd expect head coach Steve Kerr to use David Lee behind Bogut first before turning to either of Kuzmic or Ezeli.
