Golden State Warriors: Omari Spellman, not Jacob Evans, is the second-year stud

The Golden State Warriors are looking to develop multiple young players, and one of the team’s offseason acquisitions, Omari Spellman, has been the sophomore stud. He’s been better than the team’s 2018 first-round pick Jacob Evans III.

Spellman was the last pick of the 2018 first round. He had a mediocre rookie season with the Hawks, posting just under six points per game. However, the negative around Spellman is that he didn’t shoot efficiently.

This season, he’s changed that, one reason he’s taken a step forward in the Warriors frontcourt. Spellman is putting up just over seven points per game.
