Warriors Sign Top Free-Agent Point Guard Available

The Golden State Warriors agreed to a one-year deal worth $2.6 million with point guard Brandon Williams, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania. The 26-year-old averaged 13.0 points and 3.9 assists across 66 games last season for the Dallas Mavericks, including 15 starts. Williams is described as the top remaining free-agent point guard on the market. The signing makes him the 14th player on Golden State’s standard contracts, and the team still has one standard contract available to add more depth. The article notes the Warriors lost Pat Spencer to the Suns in free agency and had lacked a conventional backup point guard for Stephen Curry, with De’Anthony Melton and Brandin Podziemski likely to keep handling secondary duties.
