The Golden State Warriors have added wing Miles Kelly on an Exhibit 10 contract, the team confirmed Sunday. In a corresponding roster move, the Warriors waived guard Nick Boyd. This transaction comes as the Warriors look to add depth.
Kelly's Exhibit 10 deal is a training camp contract. It gives the 23-year-old a chance to compete for a spot on the Warriors' 15-man regular season roster. If he doesn't make the final cut, the Warriors retain his G League rights. This likely means a stint with the Santa Cruz Warriors, their NBA G League affiliate, is in his immediate future. Kelly brings perimeter shooting and wing depth to a team evaluating its options.
The Warriors' front office is actively shaping the roster ahead of training camp. Waiving Nick Boyd creates the necessary space to bring in Kelly for a look. This is standard offseason business for NBA teams, but it takes on added weight given Golden State's recent results. Adding competitive pieces in camp is a priority.
Kelly will report to training camp with the rest of the squad. His performance in practices and preseason games will determine his fate. The Warriors have a history of developing talent through their G League pipeline, and Kelly could be the next project.
