Warriors' De'Anthony Melton: Posts 16 points off bench
Melton logged 16 points (6-12 FG, 4-9 3Pt), five rebounds and three assists across 21 minutes in Wednesday's 122-112 win over the Kings.
Melton's ability to slide into several different positions will add a much-needed layer to Golden State's scheme. Although the playmaker will often be seen as the off-guard, he can also be used to spell Stephen Curry, a role previously held by Chris Paul last season. Melton drilled four threes in the contest, and he can usually be counted on to attempt around five perimeter shots per game.

Melton started but played only 12 minutes during the Warriors' preseason opener, and he'll give way to Brandin Podziemski at two-guard Wednesday. The pair appear to be competing for the starting shooting guard position, though both figure to hold a significant role, regardless of who starts.

Warriors' De'Anthony Melton: Sees 12 minutes in preseason opener
Melton posted eight points (3-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 12 minutes during Saturday's 91-90 preseason win over the Clippers.
Melton got the first crack at replacing Klay Thompson, who joined the Mavericks this offseason. Brandin Podziemski finished with four points (1-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), five rebounds, four assists and two steals in 19 minutes off the bench. Buddy Hield ended with five points (2-7 FG, 1-5 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist in 17 reserve minutes. The three guards figure to compete for Thompson's vacant minutes all season.

Warriors' De'Anthony Melton: Agrees to deal with Golden State
Melton and the Warriors agreed to a one-year, $12.8 million deal Monday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
The Warriors quickly pivoted to Melton after Klay Thompson agreed to a three-year contract with the Mavericks, although that deal hasn't been finalized yet. Melton struggled with a lingering back issue last season, but when healthy, he's an elite defender and a capable three-point shooter. In 38 regular-season games with the 76ers last season, Melton averaged 11.1 points, 3.7 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.6 steals and 2.0 three-pointers.
