The Golden State Warriors officially made a move Tuesday morning, signing four-year guard Brandon Williams to a one-year deal. This isn’t just some filler, folks, this is a bet on the 26-year-old’s serious breakout campaign last season where he was dropping a career-high 13 points per game.
From Parts Unknown to Prime Time Threat
Before last season, Williams had only logged 74 NBA games over three seasons, bouncing between the Portland Trail Blazers and the Dallas Mavericks. But when he hit the court for Dallas in 2025-26? Absolutely different story. He showed up in 66 appearances, not just getting those 13 points, but also dishing out 3.9 assists, grabbing 2.9 rebounds, and picking up 0.9 steals. The dude was everywhere.
Electric Speed Coming to Kerr’s Rotation
If you watched him play last year, you saw it: Williams brings electric speed and serious finishing ability. He was consistently getting quality looks right at the basket. Now, as the former Arizona Wildcat heads into the 2026-27 season, he’s got a real shot to carve out significant minutes as a backup point guard in Steve Kerr’s rotation. That’s big, right? It means the Warriors are looking at him to provide some serious juice. Keep an eye on him; his best plays from last season with the Mavericks are just a preview of what’s to come.
