Former Louisville wing Dwayne Sutton, who went undrafted last week, has agreed to a contract with the Warriors, according to Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports (Twitter link).
Brett Siegel of Hoop Analysis Network (via Twitter) reports that the three-and-D swingman will get an Exhibit 10 contract and has a good chance to have it converted to a two-way deal for the season. The 6’5″ 23-year-old was an All-ACC Honorable Mention with the Cardinals this past season.
Sutton spent his first college season with the University of North Carolina at Asheville, then redshirted his sophomore season to transfer to his hometown squad in Louisville. During his redshirt senior year in 2019/20, Sutton averaged 9.1 PPG, 8.2 RPG, 0.8 BPG, and 0.7 SPG. He also connected on 35.4% of his 2.6 looks from long range per game.
He certainly could help provide depth at a position of need for Golden State, after All-Star wing Klay Thompson went down for the season with an Achilles tear last week.

Whew boy, not much meat in that sauce
I saw one article that said Jessup would be stashed in Australia where he’s already signed to play pro ball down there.
1) Curry, 2) Green, 3) Wiseman, 4) Wiggins, 5) Oubre. Where do you have M. Chriss and Lee? Besides Poole and Smail?
Warriors also claim they’re applying for the $9.3 million injury exception for Thompson which reports say they will use on another veteran.
Who do you think they’d Target with that money? Who’s left?
I think they can use the injury exception for a trade, it doesn’t have to be a free agent. Can anyone confirm or deny this?
As long as the player’s salary fits and he’s in the final year of his contract, a trade works.
Yesterday they were trying to get Mark Gasol but he sign somewhere else.
Saw an article that they might hold it for a trade later or a released free agent so I guess they could pocket it for a while.
