The Golden State Warriors have finalized their 15-man roster for the upcoming NBA season, securing veteran forward Georges Niang and athletic guard Brandon Williams through free agency, according to reports from ESPN and Sporting News.
Completing the Roster With Elite Shooting
The Warriors rounded out their squad by inking Georges Niang to a one-year, $3.9 million deal, according to ESPN insider Anthony Slater. Niang, a nine-year NBA veteran recognized for his perimeter marksmanship, arrives to help surround Stephen Curry with additional floor spacing. Sporting News notes that Niang has established himself as a reliable 40% career three-point shooter, a vital trait for Steve Kerr’s offensive system. The addition of the forward fills the team’s final available roster spot, cementing the rotation as training camp approaches.
Brandon Williams Boosts the Backcourt
Alongside Niang, Golden State added guard Brandon Williams on a one-year, $2.6 million contract following a career-best individual campaign. According to reports from NBC Sports Bay Area, the athletic guard brings fresh upside to the backcourt. Outlets such as Blue Man Hoop note that the acquisition gives Curry a dynamic backcourt companion and adds necessary depth behind the starters.
