The defending NBA champion Golden State Warriors are continuing to make moves this offseason. The Athletic’s Anthony Slater first broke the news on Twitter.
Ulis last played for the NBA G League’s Northern Arizona Suns in 2017-2018. The 22-year-old was initially selected 34th overall in the second round of the 2016 NBA Draft by the Phoenix Suns. The former Kentucky baller made 71 appearances and 43 starts last season in Phoenix, averaging 7.8 points, 4.4 assists and 23.4 minutes per game.
According to ESPN’s Marc J. Spears, Ulis reportedly chose the Warriors over the Rockets and Kings.
Ulis was waived by the Suns on June 30th.
Of course, we’ll have to see how Ulis plays in Oakland. But I think that this move was a win-win for both parties. Ulis likely wanted to join a winning team and the Warriors appeared to be planning for the future.
