Warriors might have landed the steal of free agency in Brandon Williams You’d be hard pressed to find another player around the league on a completely non-guaranteed contract who’s having as much impact, albeit i...

Adds 19 points in preseason win Williams closed Saturday's 111-106 preseason win over the Kings with 19 points (7-8 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one assist and one steal across 17 minutes.

Impact After starting Wednesday's loss to Portland, Williams shifted to the second unit Saturday. He still torched the nets off the bench and finished as Golden State's second-leading scorer behind Yaxel Lendeborg (23 points). Williams has scored in double figures in all four of the Warriors' preseason outings thus far, and he's making a strong case for additional minutes to open the 2026-27 season.

Headed to bench Williams will come off the bench in Saturday's preseason game against the Kings.

Impact Stephen Curry is back and starting after skipping Wednesday's exhibition, so Williams will return to a reserve role. However, with Curry set to play just the first half of Saturday's exhibition, Williams should still see quality minutes.

Brandon Williams gives Warriors something they haven't had since Jordan Poole The Golden State Warriors have needed more bench production and Brandon Williams may be the perfect guy for that.

Drops 17 in Wednesday's start Williams played 18 minutes in Wednesday's preseason loss to the Trail Blazers, scoring 17 points (7-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT) while adding four assists, three rebounds and one steal.

Impact Golden State rested most of its key rotation players, leaving Williams as one of the more experienced members of the starting five, and the 26-year-old guard stepped up with an efficient performance. The former Maverick is expected to be a consistent part of the second unit after signing a one-year deal with the Warriors in August.

Starting Wednesday Williams will start in Wednesday's exhibition against the Trail Blazers, Jason Quick of The Athletic reports.

Impact The Warriors are resting nine players for Wednesday's exhibition, so Williams could see major minutes in a starting role. Joining him in the first unit for Wednesday's game will be Will Richard, Malevy Leons, Dalen Terry and Charles Bassey.

Drops 10 points from bench Williams posted 10 points (3-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, an assist and a steal across 18 minutes during Tuesday's 124-98 preseason win over the Lakers.

Impact Williams hopes to catch on with the Lakers after three seasons with the Mavericks, and although his speed and playmaking are unquestioned, he's buried on the depth chart and unlikely to make an impact. One possible advantage is Stephen Curry's advancing age, which could give him extra possessions in back-to-backs, but he's far from fantasy-relevant at this point.

Speed impressing Warriors Williams has made an early impression on the Warriors with his speed and ability to put pressure on opposing defenses, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Williams recorded 11 points (4-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three assists, two rebounds and one steal in 16 minutes during Sunday's preseason loss to the Clippers. Coach Steve Kerr has called Williams the fastest player he's coached with Golden State, and his ability to attack in transition and off high pick-and-rolls could give the Warriors a dimension they've lacked in recent seasons.

Impressing in training camp Williams has been impressive during training camp, with head coach Steve Kerr praising his speed and ability as a "defensive pest," Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Kerr called Williams the "fastest guy we've ever had," and he's made a positive impression with the Warriors thus far after signing a one-year deal with the club in late August. The 26-year-old guard was productive for the Mavericks in 2025-26, averaging 13.0 points, 3.9 assists, 2.9 rebounds and 0.9 steals across 22.2 minutes per contest in 66 regular-season outings (15 starts). He'll likely fight to carve out a rotational role and figures to compete for playing time with the likes of De'Anthony Melton, Gary Payton and Will Richard.
