JANUARY 3: The Warriors have officially signed Weatherspoon to a two-way contract, the club announced today in a press release.
JANUARY 2: Shooting guard Quinndary Weatherspoon, who just completed a 10-day hardship exception deal with the Warriors, will rejoin Golden State on a two-way contract, per Shams Charania of The Athletic (Twitter link).
Weatherspoon was selected with the No. 49 pick out of Mississippi State by the Spurs, and logged two seasons with the Spurs on two successive two-way contracts, splitting his time between San Antonio and the team’s Austin NBAGL affiliate.
The 25-year-old out of Mississippi State kicked off the 2021/22 season with the Warriors’ NBAGL affiliate, the Santa Cruz Warriors. Weatherspoon has averaged 16.1 PPG, 4.3 RPG, 3.7 APG, 1.2 SPG and 0.7 BPG through nine games with Santa Cruz this year.
In his lone game with Golden State so far this season, Weatherspoon scored six points on 3-of-3 shooting from the floor. He also chipped in a rebound, a steal and a block.
Weatherspoon will supplant 6’3″ point guard Jeff Dowtin as the Warriors’ second two-way player while 5’11” point guard Chris Chiozza will continue to occupy the other two-way slot. Dowtin was released earlier today.
Good, God! Another guard??
I guess the Warriors see something in Wiseman that nobody else has yet to see… ohh maybe penny in Memphis? Wiseman has had no time to do anything! Watch him not play at all this year banking on okay to be a hero
So we’re Back to having 8 Guards on the Roster out of 17 Players. Curry, Klay, Poole, Payton, Moody, Lee, Chiozza and Quindary.
Maybe one of them can play Center if Looney gets injured.
But okay, now find an Upgrade over Chris Chiozza, because he can’t get his Shot off inside the 3-Point line, and he gets picked on Defensively. Kerr over-rates his ability to run an offense.
How about Carson Edwards? He’s playing in the GLeague. That man can shoot.
If they sign Carsen Edwards that will be the 5th transaction I predicted this year:
Damyean Dotson to NYK
Tremont Waters to Tor
Carsen Edwards*?
Ersan to Chi
and Jemerrio Jones LAL
Warriors need a pivot!!! One that can defend big offensive players
I’ve been pushing for Harry Giles, MFiondu Kabengele or Sekou Doumbouya for one of our 2-Way contracts. Players have to have 4 Years or Less NBA experience to be Eligible for a 2-Way Contract.
Maybe the Orlando Magic will Buy-Out their Center Robin Lopez if they are unable to trade him by the Deadline in February?
