Once a fan-favorite during his brief stint with the Golden State Warriors, it's now been well over three years since former top 10 pick Marquese Chriss played in an NBA game.

The now 28-year-old has continued his professional career though, most recently signing a new deal with the Shandong Heroes of the Chinese Basketball Association where he played last year.

Chriss averaged 28.4 minutes in his 40 appearances for the Heroes last season, posting 20.7 points, 8.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.5 steals on 44.9% shooting from the floor and 25.2% from 3-point range.

While we're now well removed from Chriss' ultimately short tenure with the Warriors, now and again you'll still see fans bring up his name as one of the rare positives from what was a disastrous 2019-20 season with the franchise.
