On July 8th, Shams Charania of The Athletic announced that the Warriors traded away Damian Jones and a second-round pick for Omari Spellman from the Atlanta Hawks.
Spellman had a successful college career in which he won the NCAA Championship with Villanova and was the 30th pick in the 2018 NBA draft. He is a 6-foot-9 big that struggled with his weight his rookie year. He will likely play the center position for the Warriors.
Due to his struggles with his weight, Spellman had a rocky first season. He spent a lot of time with the Hawks G-league team but still saw 46 games of action with the big club.
