Mychal Mulder impressed the Golden State Warriors over his 10-day contract.
The team announced a multi-year extension with Mulder on Tuesday afternoon.
Mulder has been a revelation since signing a 10-day contract with Golden State out of the Sioux Falls Skyforce in February. He provided key offense in a 15-point comeback against the Denver Nuggets.
In four of Mulder’s six games he scored double-digit points. Excluding his poor debut, he shot 40% on eight 3-point attempts per game.
That 3-point proficiency is not an outlier: Over his last two seasons in the G League, he shot slightly above 40% on 8.4 attempts per game.
In total, Mulder averaged 12.3 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 29.5 minutes over his six games in the 10-day contract.
Over the next month, the Warriors will get to see Mulder play next to Steph Curry. The team sees him as a player who can fit in next to Curry and Klay Thompson to provide even more shooting.
Golden State has once again helped a fringe player establish himself in the NBA.
With the arrival of Mulder, growth of Marquese Chriss and Damion Lee and development of second-round pick Eric Paschall, the Warriors have done an excellent job not letting an noncompetitive season go to waste.
