Steve Kerr has been extremely impressed with the Warriors’ young crop of players fighting for roster spots this year.
What really has stood out to Kerr is the Warriors' crop of players making a first impression and competing for spots with the big squad and Golden State's G League affiliate in Santa Cruz.
Weatherspoon and Quinones currently hold the Warriors' two two-way contracts. In his second season as a Warrior, Weatherspoon feels much more comfortable in the system and understanding plays. He also says he has gained more confidence in his outside shot, an area of the game that would give the defensive-minded guard a big boost in opportunities.As soon as this year's draft concluded, the Warriors jumped at the opportunity to add Quinones.
His first run as a Warrior didn't go smoothly, turning the ball over three times in six minutes off the bench on Sunday night, but Kerr isn't overreacting to the small sample size. "He needs to play. He just doesn't have a ton of basketball experience. He's a really intriguing prospect."Baldwin and Rollins are on guaranteed contracts and will spend time in San Francisco and Santa Cruz this season. Rollins has struggled with his shot so far, though the Warriors remain high on his long-term outlook. He and a handful of the younger players should get a lot of run Tuesday night against the Portland Trail Blazers in the Warriors' fourth preseason game.
