After 12 seasons in the NBA, the Warriors have become the sixth team with which Cory Joseph will play this summer. The Canadian will therefore have the opportunity to share backcourt with two of the best point guards in the competition such as Stephen Curry Chris Paul, an experience that excites him and that he believes will help him get the best out of himself.
“It is an incredible opportunity for me” he stated in his first statements since his signing. “I am going to be able to learn from two of the best players in history in my position, so I am very excited. What Steph has done with his 3-pointer has changed basketball, and we all know how smart Chris is on the pick & roll. For my part I will try to provide defensive tenacity and do other little things.
Joseph knows what it is to win a ring, as he won it with the Spurs in 2014, but he has not finished being in big teams with high aspirations for many years. He hasn’t played a playoff game since 2019 and hasn’t reached the second round since 2017, so joining the Warriors may also mean the opportunity to dream of important goals again. And in this sense, Cory is able to add.

“I may not always have the most impressive stats, but I always help my team win. We all have different styles of play and I hope that we give each other feedback.”
The point guard comes from averaging 6.9 points and 3.5 assists with the Pistons, in which he played almost 20 minutes a night. Although it is true that his numbers have never been very striking, he has always managed to be a rotation man of some weight, usually from the second unit, and this year he will try to give some depth to some Warriors who are looking for one last swan song. .
