McCaw’s time in the NBA, is likely done.
His career averages of 3.8 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists per contest while shooting 42.0% from the field and 30.5% from three-point range in 199 games.
He also appeared 32 NBA playoff games (three starts).
Looking At The Warriors
While the Warriors are no longer the dynasty they once were when McCaw was there, they still have a high-profile roster led by Steph Curry and Draymond Green.
Last season, they lost to the Phoenix Suns in the play-in tournament.
