This weekend, former Warriors Summer League standout Mac McClung thrilled the All-Star Saturday Night crowd with a master class in slam dunks, earning himself three scores of 50 and winning the AT&T Slam Dunk Contest. But McClung did it representing the Philadelphia 76ers, not Golden State, because the Warriors chose point guard Ty Jerome over him in training camp.
Jerome has been solid for the Warriors as a two-way player, shooting 40.8% from three-point range and taking care of the ball well. He’s got the second-best offensive rating on the team, behind Kevon Looney, and he’s played well enough that the Warriors may convert his two-way deal to a regular contract, especially with Steph Curry and Gary Payton II out with injuries.
