Lakers Stealing Warriors' Summer League Standout May Prove Costly for Golden State - Athlon Sports

The Golden State Warriors face a challenging offseason after veteran center Kevon Looney signed with the New Orleans Pelicans. Following that, standout summer league player Chris Manon was signed by the Los Angeles Lakers to a two-way contract. Manon, an undrafted player from Vanderbilt, showcased his potential during the Summer League by averaging 11.0 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists, along with impressive shooting percentages. This was a blow to the Warriors, who are already lacking depth in their guard positions.

Despite their quiet summer, the Warriors still await a decision from restricted free agent Jonathan Kuminga. The team's inability to secure Manon, who was their most consistent performer during the Summer League, may haunt them as they look to strengthen their roster. With Manon heading to the Lakers, his role in the G League could blossom into a key bench position if given the opportunity.

How does the Warriors' offseason compare to other teams?What is the best strategy for the Warriors moving forward?Can the Warriors remain competitive without significant offseason moves?What fantasy implications arise from the Warriors' offseason activities?
