After spending the 2017-18 seasons with the Utah Jazz, Jonas Jerebko signed a one-year, veteran deal with the Golden State Warriors in the offseason. With the Warriors, he is receiving extended playing minutes and is career-high numbers since his rookie year with Detroit Pistons.

Jerebko is an excellent three-point shooter and is spacing the floor nicely. Coming off the bench, he is averaging 7.8 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game on 47.8 % shooting, including 36.8 % from downtown.

It is safe to say he looks like a different player all together after joining the Warriors and has been nothing but a revelation for this team as they move forward in their pursuit of a three-peat. The Swedish player is also very dominant in the paint and is fighting hard for rebounds and to keep the possessions alive.
