Golden State Warriors Make the WEIRDEST Signing Ever with LACROSSE SUPERSTAR Pat Spencer! WHO IS HE?

When I tell you about this latest Golden State Warrior signing You’re going to think I’m making it up but I am spitting 100% facts the dubs just signed a lacrosse player to their team what I know right you know DeMarcus Cousins is playing in Taiwan or something they

Couldn’t just sign him this is ridiculous man ridiculous okay settle down Boogie now at first this move doesn’t make a lot of sense but this is the kind of light years ahead kind of thinking that the Warriors need to be doing so I want to get into all of that

In today’s video first though thank you for tuning in to the half cour report today my name is Troy make sure you like this video And subscribe for some of the best NBA content that you are going to find on YouTube so first things first the player that the Warriors signed is

Named Pat Spencer and he is filling the Warriors vacant two-way spot after Lester kones was signed to the main roster Pat Spencer has spent the previous two seasons playing for the Golden State Warriors g-league affiliate in Santa Cruz and this season for Santa Cruz he is averaging 15.1 points 5.9

Rebounds four assists and 1.3 steals per game while shooting a pretty nice 49.8% from the field and 43% from three but besides all that Pat just has a ridiculous story he played four years of Lacrosse at lyola in Maryland one of the best schools for lacrosse he is the all-time NCAA leader

In assists for the sport and he is second all time in points he also won lacrosse’s biggest award that you can get it’s basically lacrosse’s version of the Heisman Trophy and despite being selected first overall and in the 2019 Premier Lacrosse League Draft Pat Spencer decided you know what I really

Like basketball so that’s what I want to do so he had a final year of Collegiate eligibility so he joined Northwestern for a postgraduate year he started all but two games and despite his lack of basketball experience he averaged over 10 points per game and shot nearly

44% after that he spent three years in Germany and in the G League and now a man has a two-way deal with the Warriors you can’t make this stuff up we have never heard a story like this it is incredible and I actually think that Pat could have a promising future in

Basketball he’s got pretty good size at 6 fo3 his shooting form is fluid that’s backed up by his good shooting numbers he has good lateral movement and a burst of speed that is going to translate into playing basketball and let’s go back to what I said about him being the alltime

NCAA lacrosse leader in assist that is going to translate to having the ability to set up teammates along with outstanding Court vision and spatial awareness when he’s out on the floor his Lacrosse coaches even said that Pat Spencer played like a point guard under control and the ability to make Split

Second decisions that resulted in winning plays his coach at Northwestern said that Pat’s passion for basketball is refreshing he said he’s very driven to see what he can do in hoops and it’s always been in his heart and that’s why he wanted him in his program flat out

This dude is a grinder he is a winner at every level so far so there is no reason to believe that he can’t do it for the Warriors at the very least as an energy guy off the bench or a guy who can change the tide of a game and really get

The crowd into into it he can bring out the best in his teammates he can play hard he plays the right way he’s also athletic with a high basketball IQ so that right there is going to go a long way for Spencer the shift from lacrosse to basketball is less complicated than

It may appear for you or me he said basketball and Lacrosse are very similar the spacing the picks the objectives I think they both helped me one with the other and that could be spend ‘s biggest Edge because when you’re playing lacrosse you have to be very unselfish

And he specializes in that type of ball movement looking for the open man making the right play so I think if you can do that you’re going to get some minutes in Steve ker system coach Steve Curr even said I love that he is a lacrosse guy I

Think sports like soccer hockey and Lacrosse establish a vision that you need in basketball so guys I love this move for the Warriors I think it’s one of the best story that I’ve covered all season and yeah I know we’re not looking for Pat Spencer to come in here and

Average 20 points and shoot 50% from three but if he can be an energy guy a spark plug Off the Bench or just a good guy to have in the locker room he’s going to fill his role let me know what you think in the comments and if you’re
