The Golden State Warriors aren’t finished adding players to their roster. While the core remains intact, they will have more than enough players for training camp.
The Warriors have added some depth behind Stephen Curry, this time grabbing an undrafted guard whose looking to prove his worth. According to Marc J. Spears of Yahoo Sports, the Warriors have signed Juwan Staten to a 1-year contract:

Other than the 1-year deal, no terms or information has been released. It’ll be tough to crack the opening day roster but Staten has an opportunity to show what he’s made of. In 94 games with the West Virginia Mountaineers, he averaged 13.4 points, 4.6 assits and 3.8 rebounds. In training camp, he will battle Ian Clark and Chris Babb for a chance to run with the champions.
In June, teams passed on the guard but he was invited to the Sacramento Kings’ roster for the Las Vegas Summer League. Never getting his chance to shine, his playing time was limited to only one game. Staten played 18 minutes and finished with two points, two assists, and three rebounds.
