WELCOME TO THE LESTER QUINONES ERA

Quick thoughts from around the social media world about Quinones coming back to GSW on a two-way

The Golden State Warriors continue to round out their roster for their upcoming revenge tour, with their most recent signing being guard Lester Quinones.

Word on the street is: “His performance in Las Vegas comes on the heels of a stellar season in the G League. In 31 games with the Santa Cruz Warriors, the 22-year-old averaged 20.2 points, 6.2 rebounds and 4.0 assists, earning G League Most Improved Player honors. He was runner-up to the Grizzlies' Kenneth Lofton Jr., in the G League Rookie of the Year voting.”

Our guy Eric Apricot had this to say about Quinones’ performance in summer league:

• Lester Quinones

  • In his first three games showed a steady assurance that was outstanding. He steadied the team, drove to the basket well, made good passes.

  • Then the last few games his shot got a little out of alignment, and he also made more mistakes and out-of-control plays. He did show another gear to be able to grind out points and possessions when the team could not get going. (Let’s ignore Game 5.)

    • He might still make the big roster, but I would guess GSW is as likely to keep him on a two-way for another year.

    • They can use him like Ty Jerome, as an occasional backup point guard to soak up some minutes when Steph / CP3 / Cory are rested for games.

I’ve heard a few folks compare him to Jordan Poole-lite? Thoughts?
