Former Santa Cruz Warriors guard Elliot Williams agreed to terms with the Warriors yesterday, becoming the latest product of the D-League affiliate to get a chance with the "big club".
C.J. McCollum became the poster child for the value of the D-League this past season after earning a bigger role for the Portland Trail Blazers and winning the 2016 NBA Most Improved Player award.
The Golden State Warriors felt McCollum's improvement first hand on a couple of key occasions during their 2016 campaign, first when he dropped 21 points on them during their biggest loss of the season in Portland and next when he scored 20+ points (albeit on low efficiency) in the final four games of the second of the 2016 NBA Playoffs.
