Cory Joseph hopes to be a steady third point guard behind Stephen Curry and Chris Paul

Guard depth — at what many thought was at the expense of big-man depth and overall size — was a huge point of contention among Warriors fans last season.

Signing veteran guard Cory Joseph won’t do much to quell concerns about those next season. At 6-foot-3-inches, Joseph isn’t exactly a beacon of defensive versatility, especially with a standing reach of 8-foot-3 and a wingspan of 6-foot-5.

But what Joseph does provide is a steady hand and years of experience as a lead ballhandler and decision maker. Joseph was 10th in assist/turnover ratio (3.9) last season among 301 players who played a minimum 49 games.
