Can’t have enough scoring, amirite?
With the Golden State Warriors losing in the play-in tournament last season and then losing franchise legend Klay Thompson in the process, it’s clear that this team is undergoing a transformation from the Splash Bros-era to...something else?
Whatever that something else is, all Dub Nation can do is hope they’ll be competitive and vie for championships again in a new era of pro basketball that is doing all it can to leave the days of the Golden Empire behind. For those who are still hopeful that the Dubs can make their way back to the top of the mountain, they’ll have to look up and down this roster for signs of hope that aren’t just “Steph Curry make everyone go night night”.
I’ve taken a look at the best game from last year for every non-Curry Warrior for your viewing pleasure so that you can have something to have trust in going into next season. We Believe is what we do after all, ain’t it?
Melton aka DAM (is that a nickname that I should use?) showed that he can find ways to score the ball efficiently in November of last yer against the Indiana Pacers. He scored 30 points on 8-of-13 shooting from the field, 4-of-6 shooting from beyond the arc. He also hit 10-of-10 from the free throw line that night.
Per Sixers Wire:
Melton established himself as a starter to begin the season and was contributing on both ends. His length, physicality and basketball IQ made him an important player on the defensive end; he took on the opposition’s best scorer on a nightly basis. He started slowly shooting the ball, but he was able to get into a rhythm before the injury slowed and then sidelined him.
If Melton can take advantage of the opportunities afford him orbiting around Curry, he could help bring another championship to the Bay.
