The Story in 60 Seconds

Writer G.C. Bellchamber argues that the Golden State Warriors can afford to give two-way guard LJ Cryer a trial run following Brandon Williams' hamstring injury against the New Orleans Pelicans. Williams, who had been averaging 10.4 points off the bench, left in the first quarter, opening an opportunity for Cryer to step into the backcourt rotation.

While Cryer lacks Williams' downhill speed and playmaking, the writer highlights his strong perimeter shooting potential as a valuable asset for floor spacing alongside bench teammates. With 42 two-way games available, Bellchamber contends the Warriors should utilize Cryer in favorable matchups while Williams is sidelined.
