Who plays? Who sits? Who gets angry and demands a trade because of lack of playing time? The <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/nba/teams/GSW" class="sbn-auto-link">Warriors</a> currently have 14 players under contract, and that doesn't include <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/nba/players/24741/C_J_Watson" class="sbn-auto-link">C.J. Watson</a>.</p> <p>The Warriors have depth. They have 11 good role players, but no superstars. So assuming everyone is healthy (big assumption) who plays and who doesn't? Check out my playing time chart and tell me where you would make changes.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>The Starters</b></p> <p>A. Biedins - 30 mins</p> <p>A. Randolph - 24 mins</p> <p>K.

That leaves us a group of B and C list point guards to sign in the free agent market. Here they are:</p> <p><b>Unrestricted Free Agents</b></p> <p>Shaun Livingston: Great height and potential, but we've been saying that about him for 4 years.</p> <p>Chris Duhon: Probably won't be resigned by the Bulls with all the guards they have now. The Heat may make a run at him.</p> <p>Potential Backups: Carlos Arroyo, Anthony Johnson, Tyronn Lue, Earl Boykins</p> <p><b>Restricted Free Agents</b></p> <p>Daniel Gibson (Cavs): Not a great passer. Probably not a good option in the backcourt with Monta.</p> <p>Delonte West (Cavs): Not a bad option. However, he is more of a combo guard than a pure point.</p> <p>Anthony Carter (Denver): Good chance Denver won't pay to keep him. He has good size and would be a great mentor to a young point guard if we had one to develop.</p> <p>Obviously no one on this list is amazing or is a point guard for the future. Mullin needs to start burning up the phones.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
