Free agent guard Jerome Robinson has agreed to a training camp deal with the Warriors, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski tweets. Robinson will compete for a regular season roster spot, according to Wojnarowski.
Golden State currently has two spots open on its 15-man roster, though the Warriors are likely to carry only 14 players on standard contracts due to their luxury tax issues.
Robinson has played with the Warriors’ G League affiliate, Santa Cruz, in each of the past two years. Robinson was a 2018 lottery pick for the Clippers but was traded during his second season to the Wizards. He hasn’t played an NBA game since the 2020/21 season, when he made 17 appearances with Washington. Overall, he has appeared in 113 NBA games, including 12 starts.
Robinson has averaged 4.5 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 14.2 minutes per game during those NBA games. He averaged 14.8 points, 4.8 assists and 4.3 rebounds in 29.2 minutes per game during 24 regular-season games with Santa Cruz last season.
Hollywood making s comeback?!!?
That’s James Robinson. Close though
He’s about a foot too short for what the Roster really needs.
A veteran Big Man behind Looney is what the team needs. They have a rookie big man behind Looney in TJD but now need the savvy Vet.
Nerlens Noel, Meyers Leonard, Harry Giles, Frank Kaminsky, Dwight Howard, Hassan Whiteside, are still on the market.
Dario is not a rookie. Maybe the reason these guys are still on the market is because they aren’t that talented.
Dwight Howard is the best choice here
Why do they need to sign Howard? Doesn’t seem to fill a hole in their roster.
It’ll likely be between Christian Wood, Bismack Biyumbo, Leonard, JaVale McGee, or Kaminsky. Nerlens is a Sacramento King, and Kaminsky/Leonard are a tad redundant with Saric, unless they’re concerned about Saric’s durability.
JTA, TJ Warren, and even Kelly Oubre are also options.
There’s rumors of JaVale and Usman Garuba getting bought out, and Garuba was comped as “Draymond-esque defender with more size, and no offensive game”. I like Garuba the same reason I liked Nerlens Noel: defense-first guys that have rarely been on teams with several good defenders. A Nerlens Noel lineup with guys like GP2, CP3, Wigs, Dray, JK, or Moody just sound really annoying to play against.
He looks like he’s pushing 40? We need some youth not an additional spot for handicapped parking.
come on, the Warriors 3rd String Guards deserve to have their own Backups ….
18 Roster spots available to us and not one invested in a 7 Footer?
At least sign a 7 Footer to 1 one of our 3 two-way Contracts.
Nobody grab rebounds when Looney is the bench.
and nobody knows chicken, like KFC
@ganggreen Huh? Just because a guy is 7 feet tall doesn’t mean they are good at rebounding. According to league stats, rebounding wasn’t a problem that the Warriors had last year. Look it up.
74, Gang and Taco act like this signing is catastrophic. Robinson played in Santa Cruz last year, they liked him,and want him back. Maybe even on a 2way contract. They’re allowed 3 2ways and Quinones has yet to accept the QO. So gsw is preparing for g league, 2 ways, a 14th player, etc etc. So they don’t sign some arbitrary 7 footer and it’s Armageddon to some
LA could have had MPJ and SGA instead they took a top 20 forehead in the history of the league
You know they took SGA right?
But they took Jerome and SGA. They had 12 and 13 and MPJ went 14
Cool story
Lol
