Give Trayce credit for what is probably a Warriors record. Is there another player in Dubs' history who hit 100% of his 3-pt attempts? My AI search says that he had zero 3-pt attempts during his college career so he's a lifetime 100% 3-pt shooter.
The current batch of young Warriors coming good has been one of the bright spots in these waning years of the dynasty Dubs. I consider TJD the OG of those young upstarts - QP, Will, Gui, Pat - the ones picked in the 50s in the draft or who went undrafted - they started getting meaningful playing time in the past couple of years and in some unfathomable way, I feel that TJD coming good as the 57th pick helped pave the way.
It lit something of a bulb in the heads of the coaching staff - hey, these high picks can actually play! That old approach where they spend interminable years in the G-League or warm the bench every game waiting for garbage time minutes (which was sorta Gui's fate for a number of years) is so passe. Put them in now and they will run their socks off and actually contribute.
That those that came after him eventually overshadowed him is a bit of a sad irony, that he took it with grace and class says much about him. TJD - HWFL!
This one is a difficult one to say #no, but thats what I would vote for. Clearly a good guy and played the right way in Kerr’s system but ultimately could not move up a notch in skills that would have given him more time - specifically his shooting!
I think if he played 1 or 2 more seasons he would have built up his HWFL stock. Definitely passed the team vibe check, played the right way, consistent Bench Celebrator, and had a few memorable moments (I was fortunate to see him *live* back in '23 as a rookie and had irrationally high hops too after a block-to-dunk sequence!).

Yet they chose to omit the Steph v Sabrina contest. Phooey.

#YES
#YÉS Irrational Exuberance for the wiñ
#NO but thanks for asking.
#YES
Because what’s the harm?
You diminish the accomplishments and hurt the feelings of more deserving inductees.
I don't think it should be so easy.
But even you would agree, dear Sleepy.
If he's Warrior For Life,
We're in some real strife.
Who's next, our good friend Dunleavy?
OT: The cast for Sony Pictures Animation's "Goat (2026)" has some pretty familiar names.
Stephen Curry as Lenny Williamson, a giraffe roarball player for the Vineland Thorns.
Ayesha Curry as Carol, a llama who is a diner owner.
Dwyane Wade as Rosette, a bull roarball player for the Shadows.
A'ja Wilson (WNBA player for the Aces) as Kouyate, an American alligator roarball player for the Shadows.
Angel Reese (WNBA player for the Sky) as Propp, a polar bear roarball player for the Shivers.
Kevin Love as Daskas, a gorilla roarball player for the Shadows.
Andre Iguodala as Iggy, a zebra roarball referee.
Mike Breen as the Vineland Reporter Cheetah.
Wait I thought Iguodala hated being called Iggy?
maybe that's the joke?
#no but that dunk on Wemby will live on in my memory forever

#No I like Trayce, hope he does great — except against us — but as has been said, he was not here long enough and didn't make enough impact for HWFL.
#no. For all the reasons stated by others -love him but his impact wasn't enough. Wish him well!
Just realized Zach Lavine is just a slightly taller and more efficient Cam Thomas
#YES

#no Work in progress so not enough time on the team. Maybe if we somehow get him back and he progresses.

Hope he has a good role wherever he plays!

Ultimately #No
