The Golden State Warriors have once again assigned rookie center Alen Smailagiu0107 to the G League. Smailagiu0107, the 39th overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft, will join Golden State’s G League affiliate, the Santa Cruz Warriors.
Smailagiu0107 is no stranger to Santa Cruz. He played the 2018-19 season with the team, before entering the draft. Since getting drafted, Smailagiu0107 has bounced between Santa Cruz and San Francisco. Given his age (he turned 19 in August) and subsequent inexperience, the team has prioritized getting him some steady run in the G League.
