The Warriors replaced unaffordable departed free agents and Gary Payton, the second and auto-portor junior, with Dante, Diven, Shenzoe, and Jamaican grain. But maybe more notably, after being cut by the LA Lakers, Gate City High School legend, and the Texas Tech University alumni, Mack McCleung, was given a summer league opportunity with the Golden State Warriors. And running with the opportunity given to them by President Bob Myers, McCleung had the third highest points per game average, only behind Kaminga and Moody. McCleung made over 50% of his 2.43 point attempts, while also leading the dubs in assists. That production paid off, as yesterday, the past first, above average ball handler, and underrated shooter, officially earned a roster spot for 2022-23. Meanwhile, the Paul Pierce-esque Moses Moody became the summer league scoring champion with 27.4 points per night. In a redraft of the 2021 class, Moody would debatably be a top 5 pick. Whether it's the clear development from Moses, the fact that the dubs just stole McCleung from the Lakers, or how they took a talented shock creator off the free agent market in Dante, Diven, Shenzoe, for a cap hit of just 4.5 million. As you'll find out, that's just a fraction of the talent they should have never let the Golden State Warriors steal for 2023.

Automatic Porter Juniors, now a member of my raptors, the young glove Gary Payton, the second's now a blazer, and Professor Big Shot's Namania Bialitza went back home to play overseas. After winning a championship, it seemed like the Warriors' front office was getting complacent by letting go of such crucial rotation pieces. Realistically, if you think about the reputation of OPJ, GP2, and Belly before they became Warriors, it was fairly similar to what people thought about Dante, Divens Genzo, and Jemmichel Green. The Warriors system allows players to make the most of their potential with all the space created by the NBA's best big three in Steph Clay and Dre. I broke down Dante, Divens Genzo's impact in this video. Go watch that after you finish watching this, but before getting to Mac McCleung, let's quickly break down the 8-year NBA veteran stretch big out of Alabama in Jemmichel Green. The 6-foot 8-240-pound forward had a down year shooting the ball last season, as he made a career worse 26.6% of his deep brain shots. However, considering Green made an elite 39% of his threes the year before, the former Nugget Clipper, Grizzly, and Spur could be due for a bounceback season in the Bay area. In his prime for the grit and grind Grizzly, Jemmichel at 1 point averaged 10.3 points per game over 55 outings, which was only back in 2017-18. In the Warriors split action, pinned down based offensive system, Green's 1.4 assists per night during that 17-18 campaign for the Grizz prove that he's importantly shown some life as a playmaker. Overall, though, his floor spacing is going to be really crucial at the four spot. The inspirational journey for Mack McCleum continues, as personally I've watched YouTube highlights of this kid since he was in high school, and it's great to see him fight his way onto a roster. After being the g-league rookie of the year, the former Red Raider deserved a promotion, and I'm thrilled Mackleum's getting the chance with such a stable organization like the Warriors. The Lakers and Bulls didn't give him a real chance to thrive in the NBA last season, but Mack's pro-level contract became a reality after he averaged 13.4 points, 4.8 dimes, and 3.6 boards in 24.4 minutes per game during the summer league. Of course, the Warriors already have a ton of options in the back court with some guy named Stefan Curry, along with Jordan Poole and now Dante Divenschenzo, but with Mackleum's ability to make sound passes, whether it's an entry pass, a drive and kick, or one of his many naturally gifted flashy dime droppings, Mack's facilitation should be extremely valuable in the dub system. Assuming the kid earns his way into Steve Curry's rotation, which is easier said than done, the flurry of capable spot-up 3 point shooters for the Warriors should allow McCleum to do the majority of the ball handling when he does get out there on the floor. It may be a good idea for Curdo experiment, or even heavily play McCleum throughout the season, maybe in Gary Payton the second minutes, because he would take a ton of the pressure to manufacture shots off the dribble from Curry and Poole. If he gains the coaching staff's trust, Mack's quickness and IQ handling the basketball will come in handy. In terms of his shooting, as I mentioned, McCleum made an incredible 50% of his deep-range shots in Vegas. That shooting is a great compliment to his facilitating, as Mack's capable of spacing the floor out and keeping the defense guessing because of that stroke. Question is, can McCleum provide the adequate defensive value to stay on the court? I think the answer is yes, because from the looks of it at the pro level, he's not getting exposed defensively whatsoever, and Mack's got solid instincts on this end as well, plus he's a well-rounded athlete, so I really don't think he's going to have much trouble on defense. Regardless of how many minutes he gets, McCleum provides great internal competition for Dante Divenchenzo, as those two are going to be fighting each other for playing time all season, which will ultimately make them better. Then there's the most noteworthy summer league revelation for Golden State, the obvious progression from Moses Moody. Of course, Kaminga's also going to be dominant, and John was broken down in my last Dubs video, but in Vegas, there's no denying it was Moody time. Moses is a shockingly skilled ball handler for his 6 foot 5 frame, and his footwork when shooting off the dribble resembles a point guard. After drawing the defense and dropping it off, Moses has the awareness and shooting mechanics to relocate and swiftly catch and release, a playmaking and shot executing wherewithal, which has led me to compare the kids upside to Paul Pierce. Whether or not Moses develops into that type of Hall of Fame talent is a completely different story, but nevertheless, his nifty, polished, and balanced finishing around the cup, in addition to the abilities I've already mentioned, make him more than capable of becoming that type of player. A scary thought with the Dubs personnel already in place. But it's not just Moody who's proving himself as a steel despite being a lottery pick, who's in the Warriors organization. Stefan Curry and Clay Thompson were also top 14 selections, who should have been taken much higher in their respective draft classes. The Warriors organization has made a habit of making draft robberies, just take the selecting of future DPOY Traymon Green in the second round.
