Warriors' Dragan Bender: Plays 20 minutes in debut

Bender tallied six points (2-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 0-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists and a block in 20 minutes during Sunday's 115-101 loss to the Pelicans.

Bender was solid enough in his Warriors debut that he could at least be a regular rotational piece moving forward. The team was without a number of players for this one, which certainly opened up playing time for its newest member. Bender has shown glimpses of what he's capable of during limited playing time this season; should he work his way into a bigger role, Bender could have some deep-league value moving forward.
