The Warriors have waived big man Trevion Williams, the team’s PR department announced (via Twitter). Golden State also confirmed that it has waived Mac McClung, as expected.
Williams and McClung were waived to reportedly make room for Ty Jerome and Anthony Lamb on the 20-man training camp roster. Williams was signed to an Exhibit 10 deal, so he could earn a $50K bonus if he spends at least 60 days with the Santa Cruz Warriors, Golden State’s G League affiliate. McClung’s contract did not contain Exhibit 10 language.
Williams, 22, went undrafted in June’s draft. He had a productive college career with the Purdue Boilermakers, earning a couple of All-Big Ten honors the past two seasons while averaging a combined 13.5 PPG, 8.2 RPG and 2.7 APG while shooting 53.5% from the floor and 55.2% from the line in 65 games (30 starts, 22.3 MPG). He was named Big Ten Sixth Man of the Year in 2021/22.
It took a month for Williams to find an NBA contract even though he was high on ESPN’s list of best undrafted players. He spent Summer League with the Celtics and appeared in two preseason games with Golden State, averaging 2.5 PPG and 3.5 RPG in just 5.7 MPG.
Would be nice to Sign Trevion to a GLeague contract and keep him Stashed down in Santa Cruz.
No real Big Man on that GLeague roster. They do have Selom Mawugbe down in Santa Cruz, but his talent appears a bit short for NBA standards.
I think the Exhibit-10 basically guarantees that he’ll be in Santa Cruz, unless someone else claims him or signs him.
No guarantee, but it means he gets a 50k bonus for playing there for a period of time.
Two choices and I believe they picked the wrong pair
Blazers should go @ Trevion …
