Should the Warriors prioritize developing young prospects over competing for immediate wins?
The Golden State Warriors have added guard Miles Kelly to their training camp roster. The 23-year-old enters the system following a G League stint where he averaged 21.0 points per game.
Why it matters
The Warriors are prioritizing developmental depth as they finalize their 21-player training camp roster. Kelly will look to translate his consistent 3-point shooting ability into a permanent spot in the rotation.
Kelly shot 38.3% from 3-point range across 33 G League games with the Texas Legends. His camp invitation follows a prior NBA showing where he averaged 3.1 points in 14 appearances.
