## Resource

De’Anthony Melton is back with the Warriors on a two-year, $11M deal — a clear sign the team values his two-way impact. Returning from a torn ACL, he averaged 12.3 PPG in 49 games, though his shooting, especially from deep, was inconsistent. His best moments came alongside Steph Curry, who praised him as a “prototypical” shooting guard — and the numbers back it up: the team’s net rating soared when they played together. Melton led the team in steals (1.6 SPG) and ranked second in plus/minus, with elite defensive ratings. While injury history remains a concern — he only played one back-to-back last season — this deal gives him a chance to stay healthy and contribute more consistently. With his versatility and defensive prowess, Melton is more than just a scorer — he’s a key piece in the Warriors’ evolving roster.
