Looney fills need for Warriors
He also saw significant run in the playoffs after DeMarcus Cousins suffered a quad injury in the first round, averaging 7.1 points and 4.5 rebounds in 20.6 minutes per game as Golden State advanced to the NBA Finals before losing to the Toronto Raptors.
With Cousins leaving in free agency, re-signing Looney fills a need in the post for Golden State, which will have a revamped roster next season after losing Kevin Durant and gaining D’Angelo Russell in the offseason.
