Marquese Chriss, the No. 8 overall pick in the 2016 NBA draft, has reportedly agreed to sign a one-year deal with the Golden State Warriors.

The Warriors are the latest team to try and see what they can get out of the former lottery pick who has not lived up to expectations. Chriss is heading into his fourth season and will be suiting up for his fourth different team.

For Golden State though, it can't hurt taking a flier on him.

The Sacramento Kings selected Chriss out of Washington in 2016 before dealing him to the Phoenix Suns on draft night. He spent his first two seasons in Phoenix, averaging 8.5 points and 4.8 rebounds per game.

After being traded to the Houston Rockets in the summer of 2018, Chriss appeared in just 16 games before being traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers in February.

In 27 appearances with the Cavs, Chriss produced 5.7 points and 4.2 rebounds per outing.

The 6-foot-10 forward will presumably compete for some type of bench role with Golden State.
