The impeccable start of the Santa Cruz Warriors in the G-League is seen through the five victories with which, without fail, they have started this season. A franchise that already knows what it means to win the title is running, although we are in the initial stages of this dance, to win the trophy of this development league again.
The new victory took place at home at the Lifetime Activities Center in Salt Lake City. High score to achieve it: the score was 126-140.
Golden State’s affiliate team that plays in the G-League thrives under the guidance of Nicholas Kerr, Steve’s son, while changing pieces with the main team. The one who is not moving at the moment, despite the loss of Draymond Green due to suspension, is the Spanish Usman Garuba, gaining presence and asking for passage at all.
Garuba started badly and has been establishing itself not only in the ownership of Santa Cruz but in good numbers. After reaching his record for rebounds in the United States, a situation that occurred in his previous game, the man from Azuqueca returned to double digits against the Stars. In 26 minutes on the court he managed to score 15 points and capture 10 rebounds. In defense he is a driving force, 3 blocks and 3 steals, and in attack he is getting better, 7 of 10 in shots. +19 with him on the track. This time the fouls committed, unlike the mess on the first day, did not hinder him from putting in this good performance.
More protagonists
The shame for Usman Garuba, looking at all this from a more individual point of view (what that competition is about, exploiting your skills to get a chance in the NBA), is that his other two contract partners are also highlighting. The Warriors have their three two-way agreements covered, two-way agreements between the main team and the subsidiary, which in addition to Garuba have Jerome Robinson and Lester Quiñones. In Robinson’s case here he contributed 16 points. For Quiñones, who threw himself into his shoes -9/24- and reached 25 points, promotion is a real possibility. The more exposure you have, the more those at the top will take you into account. But the one who is undoubtedly taking advantage of this obviousness the most is the Brazilian Gui Santos, who is directly straddling the two teams, having a standard contract: the international, with 27 points and only six errors in shots, is the strongest bet from Golden State along with rookies Podziemski and Davis.
