What happened: Williams averaged 13.0 points in 22 minutes per game for the Mavericks last season. He has averaged 10.7 points in 19.3 minutes across 140 career games.
Why it matters: Golden State adds needed perimeter scoring to its second unit for 2026-27. The one-year commitment limits the Warriors' obligation beyond the upcoming season.
By the numbers: Williams produced 21.3 points per 36 minutes last season, up from his career rate of 20.0.
What to watch: Training camp will clarify Williams' place in the Warriors' guard rotation.
