The Golden State Warriors need everything they can get out of every player on the roster this season, and Malevy Leons doesn't seem to be a true option.
Writer G.C. Bellchamber argues that the Golden State Warriors face a quiet contract problem due to a lack of viable alternatives for their third two-way contract spot. Following a poor preseason performance by forward Malevy Leons against the Portland Trail Blazers, the writer suggests the team is stuck with him for the 2026-27 season. With Jimmy Butler and Moses Moody sidelined until mid-season, Golden State heavily relies on depth contributors.
According to the article, other potential candidates fail to offer better solutions. Dalen Terry is ineligible for a two-way contract due to his four years of NBA experience, while second-round draft pick Alex Toohey does not look ready for NBA-level scoring. Bellchamber concludes that the Warriors' offseason decisions have left Leons with an uncontested path to a roster spot despite his inconsistent shooting and lack of interior physicality.
