The Warriors have signed center Kavion Pippen and waived guard Devyn Marble, according to a team press release. It’s likely to be an Exhibit 10 contract for Pippen.
Undrafted in June, Pippen averaged 12.4 PPG, 5.8 RPG and 1.66 BPG in two seasons at Southern Illinois University. The 6’10” center attended Three Rivers Community College prior to enrolling at SIU. He’s the nephew of longtime Bulls star Scottie Pippen.
Marble, signed by Golden State on September 30, played eight minutes in the Warriors’ 123-101 preseason loss to the Lakers on Saturday night.
Marble, 26, averaged 13.3 PPG in 34 games for Italy’s Aquila Basket Trento last season. He was the 56th overall pick in the 2014 draft and was acquired by the Magic in a draft-night deal with the Nuggets. He appeared in 44 games with Orlando before he was traded during the summer of 2016 to the Clippers, who quickly waived him. Marble played briefly in Greece before joining Trento in January 2017.
Warriors lose their MARBLE !!
Kavion is about to find out in the big leagues, Pippen ain’t easy!
No link for Scottie Pippen!!??
How soon they forget…..
Are they related ?
fantasyman99,
Actually read the article you clown! It’s his NEPHEW!!!
GSW need some bigger depth on the team. Right now no center and tallest PF are both hurt too.
This year’s version of the Warriors bears very little resemblance to the ones they’ve had over the past five seasons. Sure they still have Curry and Green, turning 32 and 30 this season respectively, but beyond that most of the depth is long gone and Klay will most the majority of the season (and will likely make very little impact upon his return).
*miss* the majority of the season
GSW have always been on the shorter side of most teams. Even during their championship run they had only a couple big men. They will do well never under estimate how great Curry is. He is the best player in the league.
